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?

    CleanURL’s is unnecessary if you have uBlock Origin installed:

    Same thing with I still don’t care about cookies. Use the two default Cookie Notice filters in UBO.

    For the Google tracking you can use Multi-Account Containers, but that’s an upgrade rather than a replacement.

    I’m pretty sure a few of the Twitch ones can be solved with Tapermonkey and various scripts, but don’t quote me as I don’t use Twitch.

    Just remember - the more extensions you install the easier it is to track you.
