Firefox ftw.

I've actually been using Waterfox lately though because for some reason there's a video codec issue on Firefox that makes YouTube videos not play correctly.

Proprietary software sucks, use an open source browser like Librewolf.

I know everyone is doing the "use Firefox" thing, but please remember that Acer alone sold almost a million Chromebooks globally in 2023.

Sure, many of those people probably weren't going to use it anyway, but plenty were. I installed it on my daughter's Chromebook that she was forced to use for school.

I cannot really be happy about being on Librewolf, because I am very afraid Firefox might eventually ditch MV2 as well. Mozilla is dependent on Google and is known for questionable choices, so...

[-] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

Firefox supports MV3, with some tweaks such as the WebRequest limitations added by Google's MV3 being removed from the Firefox implementation. I don't think they will remove it

I use chromium for one thing, and it's casting live sports to my Chromecast. My plans to implement a HTPC have just been expedited.

Will a pihole fill this void?

To an extent. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if sometime in the near future they force the use their own DNS servers within their browser instead of respecting your network configuration.

The best solution to circumventing Chrome's bad behavior is to not use it.

Edit: speiling

Google Chrome warns of a drop of users. There, I corrected the title.

Cool, just let me know. My girlfriend uses chrome. I'm happy to set her up with Firefox whenever y'all want to jump the shark.

[-] madis@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

For other Chromium browsers or those who don't see this yet, enable chrome://flags#extension-manifest-v2-deprecation-warning.

[-] the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Sadly, this won't stop Google from killing off Manifest V2.
