Firefox Mobile needs Tab Grouping tho.
There are some addons that do that. That's the good thing about Firefox. Very customisable.
Really, for mobile? Because containers aren't available for Android.
Ah yeah not sure if they're available for mobile, I meant desktop
You got my hopes up!

Why the fuck does anyone use Chrome? It's shittier than Firefox in every way and is still a leaky memory hog
It's the only browser installed at my work and they won't give me admin access 
Me 15 years ago, using Firefox Portable with an Internet Explorer container plugin so I can use trash web apps the organization refuses to update.
my partner has trouble doing some remote desktop stuff with firefox so they have to use chrome
Google meet screen share doesn't work for me on Firefox, tragically.
Probably intentionally too
Most definitely intentionally. Everytime I use Google meet it reminds me that because I'm using Firefox I can't use all the features.
Have you tried Chrome Mask? It spoofs Firefox as Chrome
Less tragic and more criminal, since Google uses its marketshare to essentially control the development of the web.
Firefox can literally do 99% of websites
The websites that don't work are actually just poorly designed or made by Google (not mutually exclusive).

uBlock Origin fans can rest at ease since a new and improved version is already available - uBlock Origin Lite
The Lite version's capabilities are relatively limited
it's new and improved if you count regressions in functionality as an improvement
Words don't mean anything and I hate it.
When shrinkflation advertising comes for your advertising blocking software.
Chrome users
well, there's your problem
We will welcome them to Firefox.
adblocking dns providers are a great no-system-resource, no-battery-usage solution that works in any app/program (not only browsers) and can be added for any system, as well as better online privacy especially using encrypted dns
independent-run with added top-level domain support:
- https://pubhole.archuser.org/ips/ (both)
- https://blahdns.com/ (encrypted)
- https://libredns.gr/ (encrypted)
- https://libreops.cc/radicaldns.html (unencrypted)
corporate:
- https://adguard-dns.io/kb/general/dns-providers/#default (both)
- https://doh.tiar.app/ (both)
- https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls (encrypted)
- https://alternate-dns.com/ (unencrypted)
- keweonDNS (both, address info is a bit buried in a forum post)
FireFox and Chrome both have settings to add encrypted dns for the browser.
Recommend setting adblocking dns as default on router if possible, sort of makes any router a pi-hole and then automatically sets these as default for any connected device so you can set it once and don’t have to do every device. Try to use at least two different providers for setups with primary/secondary/tertiary in case one has a temporary outage.

Including to vastly more malware ads..
Gonna be really funny if it causes something that makes the whole crowdstrike thing look tame by comparison
I once stood behind someone and watched them click on a banner ad that says “DOWNLOAD NOW!” while trying to download Notepad++
They didn’t see it on the list of apps, so they refreshed the page and clicked on a different download banner ad and installed a second malware lol

In related news I recently set up a DNS server in my home network with adware/malware blocking and set my router to use it as static DNS so my whole house has to use it, including my parents. It was shockingly easy to do with NixOS.
I'm going to make a separate post on how I did it using an old Thinkpad x220 in case anyone is interested or I get around to doing it.
Anyway, use Firefox and ffprofile creator, it's not that hard.
Please make this post!

Damn they're actually going through with it...
uBlock Origin will continue to work as usual across other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Opera, and more.

Wait, there's only 30 mil Chrome users? I thought there were way more than that
And this right here is why I dropped Chrome like a heroin habit the minute that they started talking about Manifest v3.
