I have a copy backed up, works fine when loaded manually

Why wouldn't you just use something like Firefox? Why the actual fuck would you opt to continue using Chrome?

Why would you use a browser like firefox when you could use brave which has built in ad blocks which firefox has not

[-] Sas@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Because ublock origin is like 2 clicks and doesn't need a cryptobro chromium browser

I prefer to have a "cryptobro" chromium browser that not only supports five html and js features but is actually leading in html 5 support and not lacking 2 years behind

You realize that Brave is Chromium and the „built in Adblock” is renamed ublock origin?

Yes I know that but firefox is lacking features. An old chromium browser on mobile has the same amount of points in benchmarks as the newest firefox on desktop

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
