Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout
-
Better defaults for the average user who isn’t looking for maximum privacy
-
fair enough makes sense. LibreWolf is real strict about it.
-
No, it's still 100% owned and 100% controlled by Google.
The Linux Foundation is just making it easier for people outside of Google to submit work to it.
Cynically, you could say that Google is just trying to get free contributions while retaining all the control. Optimistically you could say this is the first step in Google giving up control of Chromium in the far future, although currently they've given zero verbal or written indicators that they plan to do that.

Brave is just Chrome with added crypto and homophobia
-
Which one are you using? I was looking at ironfox
-
I don't know either. This one of those cases I wish people would elaborate, since I don't know much about waterfox so would welcome more insight into it.
-
Download fennec it's the fork of ff mobile with less of the cruft.
I don't know if it has fixed that specific problem, but I can't recall seeing it
-
GNOME Web if on Linux
-
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a try!
-
Thanks for this!! I became spoiled with Arc’s UI, but it’s a Chrome based browser. This looks like it’s the same experience without the bs.

in the early days, waterfox was simply a fork of firefox that provided 64bit support when the official builds didn’t. since then i’ve kept using it since it seems like firefox with better default settings for me. between 2019 and 2023 waterfox was owned by an advertising agency although they exerted no control over the software as far as i can tell, and everything remained open source. maybe some peoples info is outdated and they don’t know that the partnership ended 2 years ago. sorry for bad formatting i’m on mobile.

LibreWolf if you want security, privacy and freedom

Brave has investments from A16Z, a VC fund that has been involved in multiple pump and dumps and shoes founders are fundamentally opposed to democracy and human rights.
-
Some js is a bit slower. I typically use chrome for self hosted apps, jupyter etc.
I think wasm performance is actually better in Firefox though.
-
Also, I don't think one can export bookmarks from Android Firefox either.
-
See also Mull, No 120hz though.
-
how do I find out more about this and what scripts do I need to make the sites faster again on Firefox
-
Mull was part of the DIvestOS project, which has recently been discontinued.
For a similarly strengthened fork, I've been using IronFox after seeing it recommended on Lemmy.
-
Hence, the reason I originally suggested to use Firefox
Just FYI, the word "hence" literally means "for this reason". So you just said "for this reason the reason" lol.

Chill dude, I’m just going to the ATM machine to put in my PIN number to take out some money.
