A great video about the Manifest v3 and how Google is trying to make you view ads.

why are people that allergic to firefox?
vivaldi is chrome with extra steps
Mostly because the browsing experience IMO is much much worse with Firefox. I tried extensions to get functionality back, it made it worse - slower, buggy, extensions would stop being developed etc. I wish Firefox was better, I really do. But IME it’s frozen functionality like it’s 2010 or so. Like, they have tabs, who hoo. I really find save/restore, multi window control, tab stacks, sessions, workspaces, and easy UI config pretty important in day to day use. That said, I also think ads are a deal breaker, but I really wonder if this won’t bring back some of the ad-blocking proxies you run locally or something.
Or, someone forks chromium to keep Manifest v2 or whatever.
those are all things that don’t exist on most browsers without many extensions
I use both Firefox and Chrome-based browsers and I haven’t come across any major differences in functionality. What are all these things Chrome can do that Firefox can’t?
Vivaldi doesn’t have to use v3, Brave won’t. If Vivaldi does upgrade to v3, that should tell you something.
