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?

there are 50 chrome in a different color browsers that didn't break whatever manifest crap ruins ublock origin yet but they will all be broken eventually because google sucks.

brave is shitty for reasons we care about but i don't remember the details.

Brave is a crypto-centric browser ran by Brendan Eich, who is a homophobe — and even worse, the inventor of JavaScript

i can excuse cyroptocurrency and even a little homophobia, but inventing javascript is way over the line
