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’m just baffled by how there seem to exist web browser stans. Web browsers are like some of the worst pieces of software to ever exist. I can’t imagine how you can look at this unholy monstrosity and say “this is great actually”

    Chrome is also garbagesoft but at least chrome users don’t have the gall to defend it religiously

    Same goes for this websites Linux advice it’s atrocious

    Also this. One day I will post the same thread about linux desktop but for now, I only have to work with linux servers (alhamdulillah)

      The true way is rejecting the folly of computers and living in the woods harvesting mushrooms. Oh how I wish. My family used to make fun of my great uncle for growing vegetables and doing woodwork listening to 40s records but he was living the life. His favourite Linux desktop was going outside
