My Chromebook heard about it and a few weeks ago developed a display issue. I’m now looking for a new laptop that allows Firefox browser. It’s kind of funny how things work out.
Wait, a Chromebook won't let you use any browser other than than Chrome?
Chromebook won’t let you get browser Firefox unless you switch to Linux but not all Chromebook’s are able to get Linux because of hardware. I was one of those people.
It's good that I use Firefox and will continue to be ad free then, eh?
I switched to Firefox over the summer and have been mostly happy with my decision.
However, there have been a LOT of issues with video playback on certain sites and I really don't know how to fix them. Searches have been just about useless in regards to finding a fix. The worst one is Nebula. The video often just freezes while the audio just keeps trucking along like nothing is wrong. This has happened to a more limited extent with some YouTube videos as well. And the TAB crash on some sites is quite infuriating.
I sure hope so. I've been on team Mozilla for a long time, but right at this critical moment they are starting to wobble. Their CEO seems to be steering them in a direction that I don't agree with.
(I still believe Firefox is the best option right now; but I'm a little concerned for the future.)
Comeon 0.0001%! Let’s get those last 5 people who know what an extension is but were holding out for…???
Yeah… These articles are like reading the tally marks on a prison wall. Let it go.
And we started with "Don't be evil"
I believe their new slogan is "Fuck em', what they gonna do!?".
I would consider even jumping ship further away and don't land on Firefox. They have their own concerning issues as of late. The more privacy minded people may be the only group that cares and that's cool. I'm just adding that before you go to Mozilla check them out further and then decide if it fits you.
Maybe check out other browsers like Vivaldi, too. That is what I currently use now and have been satisfied with it. I use it on mobile and desktop.
Vivaldi will not maintain compatibility with manifest v2, and will instead just rely on their inbuilt ad blocker.
Vivaldi is Chromium... Use a Firefox fork at least
Seems like others in my world think similar as me so I'm good with my choice. You do you though. I was simply just recommending that maybe people should look beyond Firefox. If you don't it doesn't bother me. I'll still sleep fine tonight.
You're not looking "beyond" Firefox, you're just staying on Chromium. As unfortunate as it is, your only options these days are Chromium, Firefox and Safari (MacOS exclusive). All Chromium browsers will stop supporting Manifest V3.
