WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPKE USE BLOCKERS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Firefox is great. Word of caution for extension installers though.. LastPass really slows down Firefox in the last few revisions I tried. I've been using Keepass and Kee extension and never looked back.
Anyone else who's having issues with Firefox lag and speed, try disabling LastPass extension temporarily and see if it speeds you up.
I only have Chrome for Remote Desktop now basically.
I've noticed this as well, at least on some sites/pages. (Newegg's the one that's been super slow for me.)Firefox is great. Word of caution for extension installers though..

I'm not going to switch from LastPass to another service (I have way way too much there to try switch), but I might turn the extension off and on as needed. At least until we find out if an extension or browser update fixes it.

Just like the one time firefox installed a Mr.Robot ad onto every single installation of FF. Yeah truely transparent.I stopped using Chrome a while back and I'm glad I did. Firefox has kept me more than happy with their updates and overall transparency.
From my understanding, Focus is being used as a testing ground of sorts for a rewrite of how they're running the browser engine on Android. At some point the work will be integrated back into the main browser app.The only slightly shifty thing about Brave is that ad-reward program. On the one hand Google tries to make money paying adblock for "trusted ads", then Brave does something similar.
Not to mention without using shortcut commands, the reward icon/extension cannot be removed/disabled in Brave.
The good thing about blocking in Brave though is its app-native, not an extension.
I wish all the competition to Chrome would get their mobile browsers sorted out. Most are a mess/incomplete or non-existent (Vivaldi). Chrome mobile simply destroys everything and obv has sync.
It's pretty shocking how poorly focussed Mozilla have been with Firefox mobile. A lot of web traffic these days is mobile and they're dragging their heels. My phone has 6GB of ram and Firefox is still somehow a mess on it.
Who gives a shit about Focus confusing the market? Sort your main Firefox mobile browser out.
This can cause delays in web page loading because Chrome has to wait for the extension.
2005? It had them up until the Quantum release in November 2017. It's OK for someone to be suspicious, and not up to date on the fact that it no longer suffers from this problem, because it really had it since forever, up until fairly recently.
oh, interesting. Maybe not fully transparent, then, but still...doesn't seem like much of a comparison if we're looking at what Chrome is doing.Just like the one time firefox installed a Mr.Robot ad onto every single installation of FF. Yeah truely transparent.

Brave / Vivaldi peeps: This is based on the Chromium engine which is what this impacts. You too will loose things like uBlock
This appears to be similar to what Safari did where they're building an API for these services to use

In Manifest V3, we will strive to limit the blocking version of webRequest, potentially removing blocking options from most
events (making them observational only). Content blockers should instead use declarativeNetRequest (see below). It is unlikely
this will account for 100% of use cases (e.g., onAuthRequired), so we will likely need to retain webRequest functionality in some form.
I know. It's very good now. But it wasn't good with that all the way up until late 2017 Quantum release.Firefox is not memory leaking like it once was. It's far more stable in terms of performance (save for some Macs).
Sometimes Era threads have "issues" when it comes to the title of threads vs OP vs the actual article vs the source of the article in regards to providing accurate information for people to have discussions on vs inaccurate information (usually the thread title), but Google and Android threads seem to regularly be "dumpster fires" in comparison (thanks in part to Google's data sharing and negative feedback over the years, but still).
The title of this thread implies Google is planning to restrict ad-blockers in Chrome on purpose, and rightfully so would deserve responses such as "I'm switching to Vivaldi/Firefox/etc...". However reading the actual article and the sources, Google Chromium developers put out a list of proposed changes planned for the Chromium browser that Chrome and other browsers are based on. This specific change, according to the creator of uBlock Origin...
...would potentially break his two extensions, uBlock Origin and uMatrix, which the creator of the extension expressed in response to the Manifest V3 changes on the Chromium bugs website.
Now, while uBlock Origin is a popular extension and it would probably be a good idea for Google Chromium's developers to address these concerns/work on a solution, Google is not actively trying to restrict ad-blockers in Chromium, at least not from the information we can get from their list of changes.
I know this thread is on page 4 already so this post isn't going to inform most people posting in it/claiming they are going to switch to other Chromium based browsers that will get the same proposed changes anyway if they are accepted, but oh well.
