Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

I'd be glad to switch back to Firefox, but websites straight up don't work on it anymore. That was the only reason I went to Chrome.

So maybe my experience is unique but websites don't always test with Firefox now and some simply don't work with it. I use it anyway out of principle but occasionally I need to open Chrome.

On mobile it's even worse. Firefox is stuttery on my Pixel 8 Pro and doesn't handle more than ~20 open tabs well. The nightly version fixes the stutter but crashes all the time (it's a nightly build after all so this is expected).
