Honestly? I'm lazy, my adblocker still works so that's enough for me

I have run Ungoogled Chromium, Thorium, and Vivaldi, and all of them perform much faster and better than Librewolf.

And Librewolf is my daily driver.

FF has been my daily driver for at least a decade, but I gotta test my web apps in everything :/

Ublock is building a manifest v3 compatible extension, in case you want to compare the effectiveness of v2 vs v3 Ublock.

If you haven't used Firefox in 3+ years, its improved a lot. For 99% of people its interchangeable with Chrome except for being in the Google ecosystem.

It's sad that firefox only exists to keep chrome from becoming a monopoly, around 80% of Mozilla's income is from Google to keep google.com the default search engine.

I tried Vivaldi and honestly it looks and feel amazing, but the issue is that it's chromium based, but if mozilla put more effort in actually working on firefox, I would love it even more. Wish librewolf had a mobile app

There's only like one notable website I've had to use chromium for instead of Firefox.

The website for recalibrating a Google Pixel's fingerprint sensor. I've had to use that website twice, and I just used Microsoft Edge to do it since I can't uninstall it.

Really enjoying Zen browser this week, may be my new favorite. The tab handling is VERY weird at first though.

TIL, it is Gecko-based but more than just another Firefox clone.

It is a shame that Firefox won't support WebSerial. That is the only reason I have to use Chrome.
