Firefox ftw.
I’ve actually been using Waterfox lately though because for some reason there’s a video codec issue on Firefox that makes YouTube videos not play correctly.

Good thing I stopped using Chrome
I use chromium for one thing, and it’s casting live sports to my Chromecast. My plans to implement a HTPC have just been expedited.
Let this be my warning to Google that I will never go back to their browser when they do. Challas! ✌️
Bring back Internet Explorer.
That’s one way to say that you like the smell of lead-based gasoline.
As someone who started in tech support in 2000 and is a software developer now: absolutely not.
You spelled Netscape Navigator wrong.
I mean that’s just Firefox :p
Netscape Navigator is spelled “Firefox”.
I tried to look that up on Alta Vista but kept getting a 404 for that site.
I don’t think I’ve seen that sentence.
I would rather eternally sign my soul over to Chrome-hell than spend 5 minutes with Internet Explorer ever again
The one and only thing keeping me on Chrome… well, Ungoogled Chromium… is the webassembly performance which is just abysmal in comparison on Firefox, sadly.
How could they even allow this? Isn’t ublock an independent plugin?
Also, how about other chromium browsers?
EDIT: click bait headline, chrome is just deprecating a dependency it uses and ublock isn’t using the new version yet.
Gee, what a shame. Good think I switched to FireFox. Hey, does anyone know how to make chat work on FireFox?
80% of the websites saying we only support Chromium can be used without any problem by chaning Useragent header
About that you can check this new extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/
Yet I feel it’s better to avoid using it and report web compatibility problems. Always masking user agent could led to believe only supporting chrome is sufficient.
it’s better to avoid using it and report web compatibility problems
It would be if sites were truly incompatible, but developers know Chrome/Chromium dominates the market and instead of bothering checking compatibility with firefox, they just preemptively block Firefox since that’s an easier “fix”.
That’s assuming the vendor isn’t Google and doesn’t have a vested interest in Chrome hegemony.
Still. Finding a site that doesn’t work and reporting it absolutely is the way to go.
chat?
Some of us never left Firefox.
Is “chat work” something like sex work but clothed?
I only use chrome for things that require my Google account.
use google container for firefox :)
Cool, just let me know. My girlfriend uses chrome. I’m happy to set her up with Firefox whenever y’all want to jump the shark.
For other Chromium browsers or those who don’t see this yet, enable
chrome://flags#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-warning.Glad I have firefox as well but also looking forward to a cool new project called Ladybird. https://ladybird.org
Not sure if its the right one but glad there are more projects out there trying to jump into the game. (I know extensions are a long way off for it but i see it as hope.)
Also please consider running pihole or adguard home. Or any other full home DNS add blocker. It will help.
That’s a funny way to say “you should uninstall chrome rather than leaving it unused” but I hear you Google. 🫡
I honestly can’t wait to see how this plays out. Only Chrome, chromium and edge in their pure forms have dedicated to doing this. Most of the Chrome forks have said they’re going to fork and keep it running. It’s certainly going to give Firefox a shot in the arm, but there’s no lack of other competition either.
