Google is going to release new manifest v3. How could it harm uBlock Origin? And will Firefox and Safari become the only major browsers that fully support uBlock Origin?

    I find it hard to believe that there’s any overlap on the Venn Diagram between people technologically literate to use the Fediverse and people who still use Chrome. I’m always shocked to see posts like this. For OP, join us

      Some sites work much better with Chromium. I default to Firefox (LibreWolf), though.

      I can’t imagine keeping myself locked into only one browser. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always used at least two.

      I started using Firefox back when it was called Phoenix so it pains me to say this. Firefox pretty much sucks. For a long time, their biggest selling point is it’s not Chrome. It’s noticeably slower than Chrome and, outside of a few nice features, it’s been stagnant for a while. It routinely lags behind and hasn’t really innovated anything in years. The UI hasn’t changed materially since like 2004. Is a tabbed window the best we can do? It was great back then but now we use so many web apps that the tabs are unwieldy.

      A free, open source browser should be an incredible priority. I would put it up there with Linux in terms of importance. Instead of treating the project as important, Mozilla is screwing around with Pocket, a VPN and email masking. What the hell? It’s pathetic. They wouldn’t even be in business at all if they weren’t being paid by Google. The organization is rudderless and it shows in Firefox.
