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 used that feature dozens of times for thousands of tabs, and never had a problem. Did it just not restore any tabs when you click the button?

I literally restore over 10,000 tabs every day when I turn my computer back on.

It restores whatever it feels like. Like some windows would come back - others won't. I have no idea why.

Sometimes the missing windows are in the "receny closed windows" menu but often aren't and gone forever
