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?

Yeah you seem like you know what the deal is. I basically posted that for anyone reading along in the thread. Quite a few people on this site have no clue about privacy and its kind of my hobby horse.

You know, it's kind of a bit sad that people don't understand the privacy aspect of the internet. I wish people did.

I understand, though, that people are busy and that privacy is just one of the many, many things we all have to worry about.
