Once upon a time many years ago, Chrome was marginally better than Firefox. That time has long since passed. I know, I switched from Firefox to Chrome and used it for a couple of years, but Firefox got better and Chrome got worse, so I've been back on Firefox for many years again now. If Chrome doesn't do what you want or what you like, use Firefox. It does everything Chrome does, and more.

Bizarre. To me firefox looks like it's falling apart at the seams. Here's a new profile, just default zoom set to 150% (ublock origin installed system-wide) https://i.imgur.com/Z3MO8sr.png https://i.imgur.com/hgscGrb.png https://i.imgur.com/07QI1IU.png https://i.imgur.com/owZm12J.png What is even going on?

Not sure what you are frustrated with (can't read minds), but in my testing, the zoom setting you showed doesn't affect browser chrome, just web pages. Not sure why the rest of your chrome seems oversized, but you may be experiencing a bug. I'd report it.

I just looked at all of those images and I'm not sure what point you're making? The links you shared look about how I would expect them to look at 150% zoom.

Are you saying it has unusual default settings, and that 150% zoom is one of them? For what it's worth in my experience of installing Firefox which are probably done half dozen times in the past year or so on various devices, I haven't experienced anything like this.

Is this a joke?

The only things correctly sized are the page and the hamburger menu.

Do you not see the oversized tab-bar, the tiny icons on the tab-bar and address bar, the tiny ublock origin dialog, and the huge settings page?

You can't read minds, that's why I posted screenshots.

Surely you can see the difference between the font sizes for the ublock origin popup, and the enormous fonts on the settings page.

It's totally broken?

Chromium team has not commented on this bug with 650+ stars (within top 10 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?sort=-stars... issues) in months

Chromium team replied as of 10 minutes ago to that thread (thanks to HN exposure): "I'm temporarily restricting comments to keep comments from turning into +1s while this is trending on Hacker News. If you have additional thoughts that you'd like to share with the Chromium team regarding this issue, please return in a few days to leave a comment (and apologies for the inconvenience)." "As a Chromium contributor that…

Ohh that's nice. So we're gonna get a fix last week of December, and will have to dev around a new API in a few days, test everything, and release it to millions of users hoping for the best.

Man, Google sucks.

I keep seeing sentences like "MV3 is approaching", "when MV3 drops in x months", but the reality is that MV3 is already here and affecting extensions! New extensions that use MV2 have been prevented from being added to the store since last January [1] and this has already affected some extensions which, as a result, have to be installed manually [2][3] The time to switch to Firefox is right now. [1] https://developer…

The time to switch was yesterday, really. Google controls Chromium (don't kid yourself that it doesn't) and Google's business is ads.

They are fundamentally misaligned with your interests on the net.

That looks expected to me. The zoom setting controls web page zoom.

Does your extension work on Firefox? If yes, have you considered explaining the situation to your users to encourage them to move to Firefox?

Firefox has a much worse history than Chrome when it comes to breaking extensions.

Like what? I can't imagine firefox has done anything worse then MV3.
