Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it's the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it's actively fighting Google's monopoly on web browsing.

Firefox is based. Glad I switched over recently.
Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, and is absolutely better for privacy and security; way more based than Firefox, you should check it out m8 :)

Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.
- Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it's for security.
- Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
- ???????
- Profit... or people hopefully switch
/r/firefox is also still closed and opened up on https://fedia.io/m/firefox. So firefox people are cool in general. 🦊
I stand with Firefox.
It's crazy how low the firefox market share is. It’s like 3% worldwide.
For such a good browser too!
Such a baseless statement. Ad blockers actually improve performance by removing random junk videos, and images from running on the site.
I'm so glad to have switched to Firefox.
What a cunning plan!
Mistake #1, using chrome. Just switch to firefox ~~or brave~~ just use firefox
You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.
Well, there is your problem. Using Chrome.
If you wanna keep using adblocks you should start moving away from Chrome/Chromium-based browsers as soon as possible!!
I mean, when an extension needs to block 300 ads...
And some sites are trying to load them again, and again, and again, so the poor plugin has no choice than to go hard on resources.
Bahaha, what a scummy tactic. I suppose if you cast a wide net, you're bound to catch some fish though.
Ditch chrome
Is this real? Lmao
Is that specifically a browser issue, as opposed to a webscript issue for detection?
Is it still an issue in Librewolf, Brave, and Ungoogled Chromium?
It is a self inflicted wound basically. Google killed support for how those ad blockers work.

So I've heard good and bad things about Firefox in this thread. The bad things being mainly the performance, and some sites just don't load...
So my question to you is, If I'm comfortably browsing on Brave with uBlock on, is it really worth the switch right now?
Firefox had some issues like a decade ago on their old engine. In the past few years, they seriously stepped up their game.
If you're a normal user, you probably won't even notice the difference between Firefox and Chomium-based browsers. Sometimes I come across a weird website that doesn't want to load properly, so I'll open a Chrome tab for a few minutes to access it, but that's increasingly rare.
For web development, I generally prefer Chome's debug tools, but do all my normal browsing with Firefox.
