Sucks for Google Chrome users
The number of people I see just drowning in ads is ridiculous. They’re not using uBlock anyway. I don’t know how they put up with it.
They are brainwashed! I asked my wife if she wants me to remove the ads on her laptop. She refused. She wants to see them.
I genuinely can not comprehend it.
Some people just don’t like to tinker. They just accept the situation and live with it. For them the tinkering is a bigger headache than the ads.
Those are the same people who are using YouTube and or paying for YouTube premium… Who are the same people using windows
Literally everything’s better than Chrome.
I once broke my leg and that was better than Chrome
Still surprised there are so many people using Chrome.
They’re this generations grannies who were stubborn about using Internet Explorer.
There are only chrome, Firefox and safari. All other browsers are derivative of the one above. Chrome is objectively the best from the technical prospective: better support for web technologies, more stable, and better performance. This is not the same as IE that was actually a bad browser.
You either choose a derivative of chrome with better interface and privacy default (vivaldi?), a derivative of Firefox if you care about open web (librewolf?) or a derivative of safari if you have macOS (orion?). But it is still one of those 3, and if google kill manifest v2 then manifest v2 is killed for all derivatives.
better support for nonstandard web technologies
fixed that for you
more stable
what?
and better performance
yes it is a known fact that google sites including youtube are engineered to be slower on firefox.
fixed that for you
CSS scroll drive animation (standard), Cross document view transitions (standard), CSS corner shape, Multicol Level 2 (standard), some of the Filesystem Access API, WebGPU on linux, PWA manifest install (standard), took 3 years to ship documentPictureInPicture.
Facts are facts. Web standard are implemented first in chromium, then in firefox after years.
what?
Chromium based browser have strict multiprocess isolation. This is not true for firefox. If a tab crashes chrome it does not crash the entire browser. This is only partially true for firefox
yes it is a known fact that google sites including youtube are engineered to be slower on firefox.
Yes, and if you check browser performance on a neutral benchmark like speedometer 3.1 chrome is still faster. Also this is a fact.
Chromium is an objectively slightly better browser on paper than Firefox. Firefox is a much better browser for your privacy, for open source development and the health of the web in general.

half of these are animations. are you choosing your browser by what cool animations it supports?
certain things are better unimplemented. like webusb and complete filesystem access, because they are too dangerous features to give to random websites by a single click. if a website wants to access arbitrary parts of my filesystem they should develop a downloadable app for that.
webgpu and pwa support are indeed happening slowly. Unfortunately firefox does not have as much funds as our favorite advertising supergiant does, and they are just the same plagued by a CEO who can’t ever be fulfilled with enough of a paycheck. you will not fix that by switching to chrome.
document picture in picture kind of sounds WTF, like the other feature allowing arbitrary HTML to he rendered onto a canvas. I feel it more with the latter, but sometimes I just feel google is intentionally making the web a standard too heavy to have competitors.

I just addressed this in the previous sentence.

how is that only partially true on firefox? this is exactly the reason why it consumes so much memory when having lots of websites open.
I do not remember the last time firefox crashed for me. must have been many years ago.Chromium is an objectively slightly better browser on paper than Firefox.
only if you completely ignore a bunch of aspects of it. in reality, it has a few advantages and lots of disadvantages. oh, and its also the default for billions of people who have no clue why choose one over the other.
Use Brave browser, it has built in ad-block and is chrome based.
Didn’t they already with manifest v3?
Librewolf my faithful friend always
Biggest problem is that people are stupid and can’t comprehend that there are alternatives to the shit being served up.
Wait!!! You mean the multi-trillion dollar mega-corp that promised that Manifest 3 would actually make adblockers more effective, lied to us???
I remember the junkbuster proxy from before this stuff was done with browser extensions. Is it time for that approach to make a comeback?
No, it’s time for people to finally get their asses in gear and fucking ditch Chromium-based browsers for Firefox-based ones.
