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?

I've moved to Zen since Firefox started to enshitify

Zen is based on Firefox but I guess they enable or disable different features and change the UI.

Yeah I'm aware, I've never heard someone say that Chome runs better than Firefox tbh

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago
