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
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.
The spyware in a browser shaped trenchcoat didn’t do it for you?
That’s ok, Google Chrome was disabled from my PC a long time ago lol.
Who uses Google chrome?
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?
I actually use both quite a bit.
Firefox isn’t a slam dunk on all platforms for all sites. It takes a solid 30 seconds for it to let me use my cameras and mics in Linux. Some corporate sites just don’t work with it. Thankfully they fix the speed issues with it not too long ago so it’s almost as fast. A lot of corporate developers don’t even test it on their internal stuff.
For most people and most purposes it would be absolutely fine. It’s a mixed bag for me, I still use it as much as I can.
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.
