Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout
-
In the past 10 years it's pretty much just been Firefox, Safari, Explorer/Edge, and Chrome. 99% of browsers are just skinned Chrome. Even Edge now. Opera's engine died in 2013.
-
99% if browsers are just skinned Chrome.
Yup. Hence, the reason I originally suggested to use Firefox, only because it's not built on Chromium.
-
go to brave, chrome has been pretty anti-adblock for a while. chromium might have a problem since it uses chrome store for extensions.
-
What issues do people even have with firefox? Its a browser, it seems fast enough. Isn't that all most people need from a browser
-
Whats the advantage of Waterfox over librewolf?
-
Firefox-based https://zen-browser.app/ if you want to get fancy
-
I still find it interesting that the Vanadium browser in Grapheneos is Chromium based, with no possibility of extensions. I know this is for security reasons but it feels odd to still use chrome on my phone and Firefox everywhere else.
-
It's still the Chromium browser. Same problems, but now at the mercy of two corporations that are looking to turn a profit.
-
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.
