Fortunately, this is easily avoided by not using Chrome.

It would be best to make the switch today. That has the dual benefit of a) Showing Google that they will lose users, and maybe they will change their mind (again), and b) Show every website that they do need to put actual effort into supporting and testing against Firefox.
Recently made the switch from Edge to Firefox to fully ditch Chromium. The more I read, the more I realize it was a great decision.
Stop. Using. Chrome. FFS.
Good. Firefox is the answer.
For me, the future is Firefox and Linux.
In other words, these older extentions work just fine, no one wants the new limited features, and google is force disabling older extentions despite any outcries from its users because it can.
🎶No they won’t because I don’t use chrome 🎶
The popular uBlock Origin extension, for example, would be limited under Manifest V3. The developer created uBlock Origin Lite, a reduced version that is compatible with Manifest V3.
uBO Lite have a lot of limitations:
- Filter lists update only when the extension updates (no fetching up to date lists from servers)
- Many filters are dropped at conversion time due to MV3’s limited filter syntax
- No crafting your own filters (thus no element picker)
- No strict-blocked pages
- No per-site switches
- No dynamic filtering
- No importing external lists
Hilarious. Please people, just stop using Chrome seriously. There’s no reason to do it.
I made the switch to waterfox (Firefox fork) that strips out much of the problematic mozilla stuff.
I started to switch because of the tab containers, as I work across a dozen or so accounts in our MSP business.
Now I realised how good Firefox can be if you get rid of the bloat.
Firefox is great regardless of “the bloat”
I would say it’s good, but could be great with small adjustments in the way it is packaged.
I’ve never once used Firefox and thought “man, is there bloat here”. Whatwas bugging you?
I was mainly referring to how sluggish it was. For my web apps, it was always slower and the UI would bog down. Maybe not the correct definition of you refer to unnecessary features.
I am more referring to how lean or streamline the software is. Both in front end design and backend.
A lot of browser performance has to do with how you use it, so my experience is not universal.
Still, even full fat Firefox is skinny compared to the morbidly obese Chrome and edge browsers.
firefox did the same thing a while back. all plugins stopped working, some where updated and some lost forever. dont trust moz.
“Your”?
Is the correct word to use here grammatically.
I think they were joking about the fact that they don’t have chrome, thus no extensions
You’re missing a word and a question mark in your sentence.
Yes, “your”. Your is the possessive form of the pronoun you and indicates ownership.
“stop”?
