Mozilla about to lose funding from Google antitrust consequences :(

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 :/

I easily use Firefox and mitID and there is no problem, but if I'm wrong or using a special version it could be different for us

I really wish Mozilla would focus on these missing bits and bobs like WebUSB and this one you mentioned instead of whatever the fuck it is that they're doing now

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.

Manifest v3 was why I switched to FF a while ago - it was going to only be a matter of time even with the delays so I figured I should switch early. I still like how chrome looks a lot more and wish we had tab grouping, but google can take uBO from my cold, dead hands.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Agreed, I also miss the feature of being able to extend a screenshot on a page.

But uBO is a necessity now to browse the Internet. The ads are so bad now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Oh you can tab group and even window label in FF, check out the extensions

Pretty happy with Brave, but I'm guessing that being a downstream chromium fork they'll eventually be stuffed and forced into using V3?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Brave said they would stay on v2.

uBO Lite works on Manifest v3 and it works quite well in my experience, so I kinda don't get the whole manifest whining
