Google continues its rollout of gradually disabling uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in the Chrome web browser as part of its efforts to push users to Manifest V3-based extensions.
That’s why I switched to Firefox months ago.
Exactly. I switched at the first sniff of this. I do take some shit when people use my PC, but trust me, Chrome is gone for a reason.
Firefox sucks
It is the best we have
how long have you been using it? At first it was the worst browser I had used because everything was slightly different and I couldn’t find settings, however over time my brain did a 180° and now chromium is really weird to me (I’m one of those people who hate UI change)
Unless you’re talking about compatibility and in which case, yeah that’s fair.
The problem is privacy
It is packed full of telemetry and ads out of the box.
in that case there’s several options:
harden yourself: https://brainfucksec.github.io/firefox-hardening-guide
pre hardened: https://librewolf.net/
idk, just spitting options: https://www.waterfox.net/
or hell even: https://www.torproject.org/That shouldn’t be necessary if you’re calling Firefox an alternative to Chrome.
Librewolf works pretty well for me. However, I wish that resist fingerprinting had mode fine grained controls than just on and off. I want to be able to create some fine grained exceptions for a site.
It actually works well for me and I love having it on my phone since ad block works there… that was a life changing addition.
What problem(s) are you running into that makes you say it sucks?
Privacy and freedom nightmare plus Mozilla isn’t exactly confidence inspiring.
That’s ok, Google Chrome was disabled from my PC a long time ago lol.
All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall…
Who uses Google chrome?
Unfortunately, the vast majority of internet users. And Google is banking on people not caring enough so they can push their vision of the internet, an ad-ridden, data stealing nightmare.
It is already that. It cannot possibly get any worse.
Weird. I think the last time I had it on a personal computer was 2012.
70% of the internet
So no one on Lemmy
Aww I’m a 30%er and didn’t even know it
I’m curious. Why, when Mozilla exists?
