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?

The software? Yeah. But not the config. Compared to regular Firefox, I've had no "sync" or "mozilla account" bullshit to deal with. Sure, you can manually customize Firefox to be identical to LibreWolf, but LibreWolf is still an option for someone who wants a plug-and-play browser without having to go through the work of customizing Firefox.

yeah it's just nice to use the normal firefox browser because you get updates immediately when it releases. But maye LibreWolf releases quickly too.
