I'm not sure how hard it would be for the RN team to switch to another browser such as Firefox or the new Edge so I can uninstall Google Chrome from my computer.

#42It would be nice if there was also something in place which allowed Firefox to detect when an addon like uBlock Origin is also available on Firefox, then suggest installing the Firefox version during the upgrade.
I use Adblock Plus ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ ), and I also have AdBlock installed ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-for-f... ), just in case the first one doesn't work. They are two of the most popular adblock plugins on Firefox. Or you could just use uBlock Origin on Firefox ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin )!

Short, flippant but hopefully concise answer: 1. Safari is only available for macOS and iOS. There's no widely available, up to date browser based on non-Blink WebKit, and it's unlikely there will be, as it's rather tied to Apple OS APIs. 2. Aside from Firefox, all browsers that are available for all major operating systems are based on Chromium/Blink, and consequently will inherit Google's architectural decisions, a…

Re: Switch from Chrome to Firefox
#49Is this a coordinated ad campaign for Firefox? I find it odd how there will be Google Hate, and unanimous Firefox support. I guess I'm looking to hear from users who actually removed Google from their life and are happy. Chrome is only 1 of the Google products I've used.
You can choose to not pick a side on a two-candidate election. The most voted-for candidate will still be elected.
(Even when you factor in indirect systems like an electoral college, someone will be elected.)

#50Can someone remind me what will happen to all the chromium derivatives that support ad block? Will Google restrict their functionality? If Firefox and Safari are the last browsers to support ad block, then they totally stand a chance.
