With the way Google tries to strongarm standards and at the same time defy them, it's the modern Internet Explorer and it's a PITA to develop for.
It 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 )!

Please stop using AdBlock/AdBlockPlus. Use uBlock Origin instead.
(I tend to use uMatrix.)
Is 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.
I think link forgot to mention a step 4. Step 4: Spend weeks getting used to new shortcuts, finding equivalent extensions/plugins and getting used to their dev tools.
It's been amazing. With the ad-blocker she almost never texts me now with suspicious stuff. Also, it was super easy to teach her that if she ever gets into a situation that feels shady, just close the browser and open it up again. Starting from a clean slate every time in a well protected browser makes her feel a lot safer because she knows that if things get scary, she can just close the window and start over.
Having to log in every time hasn't turned out to be that much of an inconvenience either. See actually feels safer because of it. It makes perfect logical sense to her that the website ask her to login every time. "My bank asks me for my ID every time I go in to deposit a check, so of course it makes sense to ask for my password every time I open my browser and visit the website."
Anyway, my takeaway is that Firefox + uBlock Origin for parents is really a wonderful thing.
Will WebRender fix the CPU taxing problem, and will that be released for macOS in a subsequent release?
Why is leaving the only recourse? Chromium is free software. Forking always remains an option.
Chromium is not Chrome. Switching from Chrome to Chromium is still leaving Chrome. Whether or not Chromium or Firefox are more to your liking is another matter, and whether or not switching to Chromium accomplishes what you want to accomplish by leaving Chrome is another matter.
I hope so because almost every bug I run into during webdev is Chrome, and usually I'm told it's intended behavior or a WONTFIX. With the way Google tries to strongarm standards and at the same time defy them, it's the modern Internet Explorer and it's a PITA to develop for.
