Very useful video. I miss that you don't list the Chromium browsers. A lot of people, the target audience of this video don't know that edge, opera, vivaldi, brave are all affected some way.

I am on Firefox since I think 2003. Never understood why anyone would use a non-free browser, even if it sometimes works faster. People are weird.

So, Google thinks they own the whole Internet now, and will force ads over every single website. AMP wasn't enough for them. I used to love Google, but now I pretty much hate them.

Use. Firefox. Now!

TLDR: Google’s Manifest V3 will stop many ad blockers from working on Chromium browsers. This is to increase ad revenue. Non-Chromium browsers like Firefox won't be affected.

Already moved to Firefox on my phone. The only browser on mobile that I know of that supports extensions, giving me ad-free youtube and dark mode on websites ever since vanced was shut down.

I'm gonna be cocky and sit on my high horse to say I switched back to Firefox many years ago when they got rid of the memory leaks

I already switched to Firefox a while back. The new tracking system bullshit was the last straw. Chrome team is too busy trying to invasively track us rather then actually improving the browser for consumers.

Overall awesome video, just invest in good mic also best of luck.

Left for Firefox when they announced this update. I still have to use Chrome when I work in Google drive since basic functions like copy/paste don't work in non-chrome browsers, but even without this update the minute+ time it takes for chrome to open reminds me I made the right decision.

I never go anywhere near Chrome if I can possibly help it. Manifest v3 nonsense just reaffirms that position.

It's a good thing I'm a Firefox boy. I'm honestly fucking sick of companies making free money off me at my inconvenience while I get nothing in return.

Firefox shall rise soon.

I don't care I use Internet Explorer

Does it affect me if I use Firefox. ?

Heh, "Don't Be Evil"

The only thing keeping me from making the jump to Firefox is the fact you still can't create shortcuts to web pages that open in their own window like apps the way you can in chromium browsers. I find that feature incredibly useful so I'm sticking with thorium/librewolf etc for now. But once the enshittification is complete I guess I'll have to learn to live without it because I definitely aren't giving up ad blockers for it.

Ok. I tried Firefox for about a month on my Android phone and Mac, but unfortunately had to go back to Chrome on both. I don't really know what to do at this point. I run enough firewalls and ad blockers that using Chrome has never particularly bothered me from a usability standpoint, but I get the point everyone is trying to make. However, I also don't want to spend weeks of my life fighting to get yet another open source program to work the same as the "other" program, or find some substitute that I can live with.

I used to use Firefox when I was a kid and loved all of the extensions. However, it seems severely lacking now. I tried to find something to give me group tabs, and found old abandoned projects or some tree thing that made 0 sense to me. I saw an article I think explaining that it is coming? I don't understand why a feature like this is missing when it used to exist a long time ago. Seems like basic functionality to me. Also, why is the tab bar so big? It takes up a lot of screen real estate.

The thing that killed it for me was the lack of PWA support, which is how I have used Outlook for around 6+ years. I fought with the extension for a while and things sort of worked on and off for a few days here or there, but half the time it would open emails in the main browser anyway. Once it got to the point where Outlook was completely blank and refused to load at all, I gave up. I could never get it to work again. I hoped I could maybe setup the PWA to just be in Chrome or Safari, but it just opens it as a tab in Firefox anyway. I tried, but I am not going to spend hours fighting with it anymore at this point and it would be nice if it was built into the browser instead of a random extension.

It was a better experience on the phone, and I like the bar on the bottom, until I realized it was draining my battery. I found a thread of users complaining about it for the last few months with no fix. I don't even use the sync feature, but that supposedly is the culprit? Phone kept dying and I barely used it. Looked at the battery usage screen and there it was, almost the top item. I would love to use Firefox on Android, but not at the expense of my battery. Sorry.
