Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout
-
I still use the full screen tab groups feature that they removed from the core. I don't like scrolling tabs, so I can just hit a button and click on the exact tab I want. I do probably have too many tabs open tbh.

Yeah I'm a 20-some year FF user and when it started you had to have IE as a backup because not everything was compatible. In the late 2000s through late 2010s everything worked everywhere, then with chromes dominance places have stopped testing or supporting certain things in FF and it feels like history is repeating itself. Unfortunately you need a chromium-based backup realistically for certain sites, but 99.5% of things work totally fine in FF.

That's not a webview, it's a separate api with fewer abilities. Custom tabs I believe.
You can see for example that it always opens as a fullscreen overlay in your app and that it always has that bottom or in your case top bar. -
A lot of websites are broken on Firefox which is a shame. I can’t even scroll down on some news sites. What a shame…

I switched to Firefox the morning they disabled uBlock Origin.

Unfortunately, with the FTC rolling back net neutrality protections, I don’t see an antitrust lawsuit happening, or succeeding, anytime soon

Why not use Firefox for android too?

It doesn’t sound right but it is. I think in ‘94 I was using Juno for email and internet. Shortly after that it was time to actually use one of the many AOL trial discs for service instead of a mini frisbee/ninja star.
Modem sounds, chat rooms, you’ve got mail. What a time to live!

I've never hated my life more than right now...

This might be the fault of your ublock filters rather than Firefox. Do you have a cookie banner filter list? Some websites are blocking scrolling until you make a cookie decision. A short disable of ublock, rejecting the cookies should then work. The "downside" of a powerful ad blocker

Makes me remember when I used Konqueror with FF as a fallback before Chrome existed.

Fuck. I got free internet for almost 5 years. So many AOL discs. 01, 02? Friend's dad had a T1 connection put into their house for his work. The difference between T1 and the 56k I had at home? At home walk out the room, have a smoke, maybe ⅔ a boob loaded. At buddy's house, that's when I realised that the internet had the potential to change everything. Whole boob before you could even stand up.
Kids these days. No appreciation for how much struggle it used to be. Everything just. Just there. No bork the only computer in the house because boob.exe.

Agreed, I've never come across a site that was broken because of Firefox. Usually the culprit is adblock being too good at blocking, so just toggle it off and refresh and page loads just fine.

Use an alternative chromium based browser?
-
upvoted for the spinny gif ... weeeeeeeee

Vivaldi on Linux and Windows is still good in my experience, and so far uBlock Origin for manifest v2 still works. I hope they keep v2 support forever, forking completely if they must.
-
I haven't actually found anything that doesn't work on Firefox on my personal computer. At work we also use Firefox, and some things don't work on it, but some things don't work on chrome or edge either, it's a hodge poge.
-
I never left Firefox. It's a fantastic browser.
-
Don’t use chromium?
-
Mosaic was awesome. Netscape 1 was pretty cool, but Netscape 2 and animated gifs... zowie! That was a day to remember.
