A great video about the Manifest v3 and how Google is trying to make you view ads.

Please, people... just switch to Ultron. (Make sure to update your Adobe Reader).

I thought they cancelled manifest v3 after the backlash?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

They never do. They wait for the backlash to be over, change a few things and try it again.

I wish firefox would just add tab-groups back like chrome has or literally any chrome based browser... Ive tried literally every tab extension in the store and w/e I could find on Github but they all aren't to my liking. They basically all use a side bar. I just want to slide my 100 tabs of manga and obscure programming blogs out of sight lol other than that, firefox is pretty much better in most ways.

Does Firefox multi-account-containers work for you? Not on a desktop atm. but maybe you still need to have separate windows for that...

Anyways I'd still highly recommended the extension!

Windows group tabs. Just open a new window for each task of tabs.

Be really cool if they'd at least add it to their mobile browser though.

Maybe I'm being stupid but doesn't Firefox have tab-groups?

I doubt it. Normies love chrome, and the majority of normies don't even know about ad blockers. Chrome will continue unfortunately

Anyone remembers when Chrome was the hot new kid on the block and we all converted the "normies" to it because it was so much better than IE? We're reaping what we sowed.

This is so true. I feel personally responsible

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I still carry so much shame for this.

Are you using chrome? 🫤

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Nope, I use Firefox

No problems with the inbuild adblocker in Vivaldi, not even in YouTube (without any ads for me), problems only for Chromiums in which are remaining control and tracking APIs from Google and which are only can use "descaffeinated" Adblockers from the Chrome Store. I can use even direct userscripts in Vivaldi if needed, without the need of Tamper-, Greasy- or Violentmonkey extensions. Vivaldi is a Chromium browser, but Google for the past 9 years has hit its teeth on a rock in attempts to control it.

I was a Vivaldi user, like you, until I used Floorp and now I'm a crack addict.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Floorp is a nice Browser. Apart of Vivaldi, I use also the Mullvad Browser and the SSuite Netsurf for some tasks, before I also had the Midory Browser (almost identical to Floorp) and almost all others which are exist or existed in the past. But Vivaldi remain my main browser since 8 years.

Good think I don't use chrome.
