It's web builders deliberately building their sites and webapps for chromium based browsers only, because it has over 80% market share. They only test on firefox rudimentally. The experience is subpar and people use chromium instead because of it, cementing chromium as the most used browser. Some site builders do this because they don't have the time to extensively test a browser with low market share, others, like Google, do it deliberately.

I mean everybody is free to block them trash scripts from these developers with uMatrix or NoScript.

I just wish I didn't have to! I'm always hunting through uMatrix to find the filter that broke the website I need.

UMatrix is no longer under development, right? uBlock has that functionality built in iirc. It came from the same dev, unless I'm confusing them with something else.

I've been using both, side by side. Had no clue I could block scripts with uBlock. I thought it just handled ads.

Are the ad block changes from the new manifest going to be opt-in?
