    I don’t understand why people use Chome? Just use any other Chromium based open source browser or Firefox

      Probably because most don’t know what Chromium is, or what open-source means or why certain websites don’t work (or work as well as in Chrome). Sad but true.

      most of the population isn’t tech-savvy enough to know about different browser types, or care about which one they’re using. The reason chrome is so dominant is because it comes pre-installed on many devices, and so people just don’t bother to change it.

    if I recall correctly many adblockers (including uBlock origin) stopped working a while ago on chrome when chrome implemented manifest v3.0 for extensions

      Hasn’t happened quite yet. uBlock Origin on Chrome is much less robust than on Firefox, that’s for sure. Manifest 3 is finishing it’s rollout this month and we’re looking at not being able to functionally use adblockers in Chrome very soon.

        Ah okay, thanks for the info. I don’t use chrome myself and haven’t been reading up on the whole ordeal recently so my information was a bit outdated lol

        librewolf is hardened firefox out of the box. If you want to harden firefox yourself or use user.js from arkenfox you can achieve the same end result.

      I’ve used only ublock for a while and haven’t had any issues with sites detecting adblock. Heck, even with the recent youtube debacle I still block ads on yt and haven’t noticed any of the things people are complaining about. Though, I have youtube enhancer as well which also blocks ads.

    I didn’t realize people were still using Chrome. I thought most jumped ship a few years ago.

      Not trying to be rude, but really? You thought that “most people jumped ship” on a browser that still has over 70% of the desktop browser marketshare in 2023?

      Hell on mobile browsers it is just over 60% marketshare. The people that “jumped ship” on that one all own iPhones.

      This is just a silly statement.

      I used Firefox for years, then switched to Chrome for a bit. It ate up 60% of my RAM for no fucking reason, so I switched back to Firefox a few years ago. Fuck Chrome

      I currently have 32 tabs open in Edge, albeit most of them have been suspended.

      I also have FFXIV running at 40-60 fps. I could start encoding a video right now, and Edge would slow down minimally.

      But for some reason, Firefox has always been slower for me. I truly don’t understand why.

      I switched to it a little more than a year ago now and can’t imagine going back.

        Not just a twist. It tries to shove crypto in your face and monetize your browsing time constantly. There are far better alternatives like Vivaldi and Firefox that don’t do that nonsense at all.

          For what’s it’s worth, finding an alternate revenue source would be good for keeping the web good.

          Hosting is not free and how many sites can you donate to, realistically?

      Been there, done that, found more holes in vivaldi than the chrome itself, switched up to LibreWolf (a hardened fork of firefox.)

      Vivaldi still uses Chromium as a base, so you’re still supporting Google and Chrome. Literally only Firefox and its forks use a different rendering engine (used to be Gecko, I think it’s Quantum now). If you are using a browser with Blink as a rendering engine, you’re using Google code, and Google will still be in control of your browser.
