Very unfortunate development, which seems par for the course from Mozilla these days.

I'm jumping ship. Which browser would y'all recommend at this point? Preferably something I can get on android as well as linux.

I'm a fan of Vivaldi browser. Works great on Linux and Android. Bonus: Their leadership has gone on record stating there will be no AI in their browser.

Where do they stand on manifest v3 things? Can we use uBlock origin? Full, not lite. Haven’t followed them enough to know.

[–] TheLastOfHisName@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

uBlock origin works fine in Vivaldi. It comes with its own ad blocker (based of of uBlock, I think). I'm not sure what their stance on Manifest v3 is. I would recommend hitting up their site https://vivaldi.com/

How do you find the speed vs Firefox?

[–] TheLastOfHisName@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, it's been so long since I used Firefox, I really don't have a frame of reference. I'll just say that I find the speed adequate for my needs, and I have multiple tabs open (12+).

12? Only 12? Bruh. My Firefox legit gave up and just shows an infinity symbol 😭

[–] TheLastOfHisName@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Yah. I'm a bit of a tab lightweight, I s'pose.

I found their roadmap for 2026 to be pretty inspiring.
