Most people still haven’t heard of Manifest V3, so if you are one of those not using Firefox, this is for you.

    Left for Firefox when they announced this update. I still have to use Chrome when I work in Google drive since basic functions like copy/paste don’t work in non-chrome browsers, but even without this update the minute+ time it takes for chrome to open reminds me I made the right decision.

      Same. It was definitely an adjustment as a former ChromeOS user. There were some minor issues like getting playback for streaming services and maybe 1-2% of the unique websites I visit not being built properly for Firefox but it’s pretty infrequent and you develop a quick workflow to resolve the issues. I have a backup version of Chromium that I use as an emergency browser.

      I use a Firefox fork (Floorp) which gives me PWAs capabilities which was the last hurdle for me.

      I keep Cromite (on Android) and Chromium (pc) around for those sites that are so poorly coded I have to use a chrome-engined browser.

      It’s really annoying.

      At least those 2 browsers are fast (and I keep history turned off because I only use them for crappy websites).
