      Actually, yes. Firefox is good but I hate the UI. Okay, Brave seems nice. Love the UI, sync feels slow, and why can I not move the top bar to the bottom on mobile??? Phones are BIG. Don’t make it harder for me to use your product. Okay, there is Vivaldi, king of customisability. Nice, but feels slow. Back to Firefox. Still hate UI. And now wanting a better new tab page. Proceed to discover Tabliss for a good new tab page, and Firefox-UI-Fix on github to give me a better UI on Firefox desktop. Wow, problems solved. I’m sticking to Firefox forever (unless I decide to switch to Librewolf where I can still implement all the same fixes as on Firefox).

      Moved to Firefox a while ago, specifically because of Manifest V3.

      The only issue I’ve found so far is that you can’t log in to PSN on it. Just locks the browser completely and you need to kill it in task manager. Apparently it’s to do with password saving.

      Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won’t be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you’re on Windows anyway).

        System wide ad blockers can’t block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.

          I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.

              Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.

              If anything, they’re worse.

              1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
              2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
              3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
              4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
              5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

              I could go on.
