Firefox is the way. If you haven't tried Firefox since 2008, you should. It is as fast as Chrome. It has improved significantly since 2008.

They’re also prioritising a few great and much needed QoL improvements like vertical tabs, tab grouping and a new Profile Management system!

I switched to Firefox 6 months ago as a test experiment. I literally have NO REASON to ever open chrome again. Imported my passwords and the transition was smooth as butter. And I am a stubborn turd that hates change. Firefox plus Ublock origin and superagent fixed everything wrong with the internet for me.

What gets me about this change is that it hurts enterprise more than anybody. I don't use chrome anymore for anything in my personal life, and haven't in several years now. However, it's the only browser I can use for work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

superagent

How's that vs just enabling the built-in lists i uBO?

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Does Ublock do cookie settings? I used superagent so I never see those cookie pop ups, it just declines all optional cookies.

God bless the uBlock devs.

Google is collapsing because we are not the customer they serve (anymore). We are the product.

They have spoiled all the good will their brand has which means they are vulnerable to competition.

As soon as I heard of the mere plan to do this, I ditched Chromium altogether and went back to Firefox. Ultimately, I landed on the fork Floorp.

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can you elaborate on why floorp is better than Firefox? Is it just more customization?

I had the exact same journey as you: Chrome to Chromium to Firefox to Floorp.

[–] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Does this apply to chromium browsers too?

Nope. Won't happen to those having inbuillt ad-blocker, as those are not extension and thus aren't affected by MV3.

Staying with Edge to see exactly what happens.

Firefox.
