God I wish chrome didn't remove manifest v2 meow-tableflip

Here is the list of things that piss me off about firefox:

  • It is dogshit slow
  • It eats up a ludicrous amounts of RAM, which I wasn't expecting since it's one of the main things people make fun of chrome for
  • It crashes constantly
  • It tries to push it's "AI" bullshit on me despite me turning it off on multiple occasions
  • It puts ads on my home page
  • It needs to be relaunched regularly because at some point it becomes too laggy to use. It even stops loading pages altogether
  • "Restore previous session" feature doesn't work half the time so restarting the browser is absolutely terrifying
  • Profile management is a mess

Are there any alternatives? Is Brave any good?

I have almost 100 tabs open. Most of them are just text - github pages, google search results, news articles, documentation pages. And a couple of youtube videos

Granted, it is a lot of tabs but I don't get why rendering some text to the screen should take so much memory

google search results, news articles,

aren't really "just text" unless you've done something funky to google and are only browsing cool news sites
