I like Vivaldi and they are going to keep V2 support for a while. I will switch to Firefox when it's gone, but for the time being I am happy they are keeping the support.
Pihole for the win
I keep seeing this posted here and elsewhere. Is there a simple, easy step-by-step explanation for how to build one of these and how to deploy it on your home network?
I’ve got very limited experience with working with Raspberry Pi.
Step 1) Get a raspberry pi. Step 2) Open terminal and paste: curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash Step 3) Point your DNS to the raspberry pi’s IP address.
If you don't want to tinker with a Raspberry Pi, a simpler alternative would be AdGuard DNS

(Configure manually -> Routers)
I use one too, but it doesn’t block certain things like YouTube’s embedded adverts. Also use uBlock Origin.
What does chromium-based browsers on pc have that Firefox doesn't have? Like I don't understand why people use Chrome instead of Firefox.
One thing for danish people is the "online government id" (MitID) everyone has and needs to use for online purchases and logins to banks and various other things.
It straight up only works on chrome for mobile :/
How convenient that this happens just a few days after Firefox implements the features that have been blocking me from switching for the last few years.
Still, I'm curious about other browsers. We know Chrome is killing V2, but what about other Chromium-based browsers? I saw below a comment espousing Brave, but I'd rather use Chrome than Brave because of the gross crypto bs. What about Vivaldi, Opera, and Chredge? Will they keep supporting Manifest V2?

Which are those?
Multi-window support on iPad is the main one. Less important, though it would have bugged me if they didn't have it, is sustained Incognito tabs—which apparently they had until a couple of months ago, then removed without explanation, then added back in just 1 day ago, also without explanation. Found a thread on their forums with a whole bunch of people perplexed and asking what happened.
Mozilla about to lose funding from Google antitrust consequences :(
There's was only a very brief period that I would have considered Chrome a better option and that was the period when Chrome had a mobile app and FF didn't. Other than that, I have never understood why you would use chrome. I know FF didn't invent tab browsing, but definitely the first to do it successfully.
I do not study in detail if this combination is necessary, but:
Ghostery, Privacy Badger and Disconnect do nothing worthwhile that uBlock Origin doesn't already do.
Wonder if the recent antitrust ruling about Google paying for being the default search engine will affect Mozilla's funding.
I use firefox, I mostly like it, but it still doesn't support chromium style tab groups (no, that one extension is not similar), and its webgpu implementation also doesn't work on most websites more than a year after Google made their version available by default
I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?
Pretty happy with Brave, but I'm guessing that being a downstream chromium fork they'll eventually be stuffed and forced into using V3?
