I recently ditched both Chrome and Firefox. Now super happy with Safari.
How do you get by without extensions? The extension "store" (now part of the App Store) isn't searchable, and among the available extensions, which are very few, most are junkware.

It is not, Manifest v3 hasn't been rolled out yet. It is in Canary already though. But it will take some time before it reaches stable.
With Manifest v3 in Canary it feels like there's no chance it won't reach stable in substantially the same form. Moving to Firefox now gives you a transition period where both browsers are viable.

#78Let’s enumerate how Firefox is bugging the user to tell him they respect his privacy: - Each time one opens a tab, - Every week in my mailbox, - When opening any other website and their popup is here to tell me « You’re protected! » - When one opens a website and FF asks « Do you want to install this privacy extension? », pointing at the facebook jail or the container feature. - When suggesting to use Pocket or any n…
> Also, coming from a company who fired his CEO for a private donation made 10 years earlier, claiming it’s a privacy-respecting company is rich. Two corrections.
