I frequently forget that chrome is installed on my phone. The only time I'm forced to use it is about once a year when I order Papa John's Pizza takeout. Their checkout page doesn't seem to work in any other browser.

It’s so Papa John’s to support only one browser.

I've been dual welding browsers since chrome came out. The second they started talking about deprecating manifest 2, I test drove Vivaldi and Brave. Now they're set up as my second.

I tried to convert over to Libwolf, But it absolutely massacres my passkeys.

I plan to main Firefox until they do something stupid which I think is inevitable with their recent statements.

I'm just hoping that by the time The other Firefox shoe drops there will be something else viable on the market. I don't know how long Brave and Vivaldi can hold out with chromium changing underneath them

Time to switch to ~~uBlock Lite or~~ another ~~ad blocker~~ browser. Firefox fully supports ad blockers like uBlock Origin. LibreWolf removes all the Mozilla nonsense like Pocket, their new advertising crap, sponsored sites, etc. and comes with uBO preinstalled. There's also an official Lemmy community for it: [email protected]

I stopped using adblockers and simply set the entire operating system to use Mullvad's DNS over HTTPS/TLS, specifically the adblock.dns.mullvad.net option. It doesn't have all the other uBlock features, but all ads are blocked in all browsers.

I like nextdns.io

Is it just me, or have I seen like 6-7 of these posts at this point?
