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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
the password management[1] and GCP support (likely Google doing something non-standard) was lacking last I tried. I hope it got better. [1] I use a password manager, but avoid browser add-ons or extensions to limit the surface I expose my manager such as on work machines. Besides there being the occasional exploit targeting those browser add-ons or extensions. What do you all do?
Is Chrome still planning on rolling out manifest v3, which kills uBlock Origin? I imagine that would boost Firefox growth. Edit: Answering my own question...yup, it's in canary as of November 1st. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/google-begins...
Are there definite plans for uBlock Origin not to support new blocking API?

Make sure proper ad blocking only works in firefox and make google choke on their evil policies masked with performance concerns.
Let’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. Brendan Eich made a public donation in support of Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage in California. He also was not fired; he voluntarily stepped down.
He meant private, as opposed to corporate. I'm not aware if it's even possible to hide charitable donations from the public eye.
Stop sending my data to Google ( https://twitter.com/jonathansampson/status/11658588961766604... ) and make Firefox fast on Linux (minimum as Chrome) - reason't why I'm not use Fox anymore.
