  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

Are they going to do this on Edge? Please don't judge me. I love the "Continue on Mobile" feature.

Well I will sound like an old bore but throughout the nearly 20 years Firefox is out I never looked at anything else. Seen the rise and fall of Internet Explorer seeing the rise and fall of chrome.

Even Firefox in its dreadfully slow era (2010-2016) it did not made me change. And let me be clear Firefox is far from perfect. But for my use cases (privacy and security balance over certain conveniences) I would not change for any commercially backed Browser.

Moral of the story. It's better to donate to Mozilla and enjoy the freedom of your browser than giving yourself in on the erratic behavior of the big tech companies.

since people here are more tech savvy than i could ever be if like to ask what you guys think of Vivaldi, because i like it a lot. super customizable, has quick command search, side panel lets me use some websites like extensions, and workspaces help me organize especially with work... has anyone used it and can anyone tell me if waterfox or other forks are better and how?

Vivaldi is the new Opera, right?

  • another chromium
  • GUI looks good
  • Cross platform
  • Highdpi kind of sucks on plasma 5
  • Fast
  • Not Firefox

I tried it for a week, but eventually left back for Firefox.

google chrome will go the way of netscape navigator and internet explorer. might take a while and a antitrust case or two, but we will get there... again.

Can't wait for nothing to change 'cause 90% of chrome users don't use add-ons.
