Mozilla is going to kill it too. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxsdmHepmqMNqWM0BmW2RHemnarYeQk0bk?feature=shared
Wrong link. But Mozilla is not going to kill uBlock Origin too. Firefox supports the old MV2 and new MV3 version for extensions.
Too long to read? I get it. Here’s the summary. Download Firefox.
Yes. One option is to download it from here: https://librewolf.net/
how is this one better?
It's Firefox, with the Firefox branding and some questionable decisions like the AI chatbot sidebar and a few others removed
Hoping this could maybe help convince my friends who are just looking for a chromium alternative and won't even consider firefox
this is assuming that mozilla won't ruin firefox as usually by copying the bad parts of chromium
seeing the latest 5 years, i don't have much hope
Aren't they already enshittifying FF?
It's like with Windows, most people don't know or think about an alternative. Or care about privacy and the advantages. It's just work and annoying to do any change.

Just a heads up, you posted this 5 times here and 3 times on lemmy.ml
I'm using Fedia - must be an issue with replication or something. I have no control over that, sorry.
Ahh those bugs suck. Though I think you should still be able to delete the duplicates.
I really like chromes tab grouping features, I wish firefox had that. But adblock is more important than groups so the change wasn't too hard to deal with
Maybe this helps?

Ohh this might! Thank you :)
I never used those, but I have been using Winger for a while. Not a strong recommendation, but I am continuing to use it. I also heavily abuse tab searching and switching via the awesomebar.
Hey thank you for the links! I'll check em out :D
Incorrect.
Vivaldi, which is Chromium-based, has a built-in ad blocker.
