Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout
-
I have no idea either. Sure, chrome is a little faster but its a minor difference in my opinion. Been using it for a long time and have no idea why it's so unpopular.
-
Was
Isa little faster.No way it stays that way after blocking ad-blocking. Some websites genuinely take over 30s without ad block.
-
Chrome uses WebKit, safaris engine.
-
Chrome forked Webkit in 2012 to create Blink. It is reasonable to assume they have somewhat diverged since.
-
They're developed separately. It's a hard fork so I consider them different.
-
In Australia it won't save card details. And it can't natively create app shortcuts for things like Gmail, keep, whatsapp etc.
I put up with it but it's a pain compared to chrome and edge.

Brave is full of adverts for crypto and is owned by a homophobe
-
I advocate Firefox, but I must admit I personally am affected by regular crashes on Firefox desktop. Mostly when I enter a page I haven't visited before (randomly though).
I don't know if others are affected by this, and I still recommend Firefox regardless, but every crash leaves a sour taste in my mouth. As it is not widespread, it might just be my setup, but still.
-
Thats really weird. I have never personally had the issue but it is more and fair enough to have issues with FF after that. I would recommend brave then, still chromium based but is actively doing things to make sure their adblock still works.
-
That's not normal. You should go to the support pages and see if there is a fix. And it could be an addon causing the issue, not FF itself. I had that issue many years back.
-
Too many people complain about the UI and claim it's "outdated, ugly, unusable". I find that funny because you can make FF look almost like anything you want, and I personally hate chrome's UI.
-
Also, keep in mind, google has been caught slowing Firefox down in YouTube before. So if you notice any slowness in their services, it's fair to suspect it might not be Firefox's fault.
-
Well, you USED to be able to, anyways, but they've slowly moved to a less customisable ui. Now you have to use extensions from outside websites to even do simple stuff like have a multi-row tab bar.
Not to mention Firefox seems to break them every year or so.

If you have the time try the troubleshoot mode to help figure it out - add ons are often the cause

I just use a Firefox derivative there as well, because of Ublock. Tried Vanadium but the adblocking was just not good.
-
eh? no idea, never used it. these downvotes are wild to me. is waterfox bad somehow?
-
I have no idea. I did not downvote lol. Was genuinely trying to figure out if there was a reason to switch.
I would assume there is no issue until someone actually explains what the problem is.
-
I did check the about:crashes page and it showed me that it seems to be related to "speechd init" and the crash itself is being linked with
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1794057Having said that, I just disabled narrate, so maybe it goes away now.
-
I dont have issues with FF in general which would cause me to stop using it, while it is frustrating, not using something chromium based still outweighs that heavily. Its kinda of a matter of principle to me.
E: clarification -
wonder if they're somewhere else in the thread naming other browsers. i looked up librewolf and it looks solid enough anyway.
