Noice. I’m sure there’s mirrors up already. Article says it’ll eventually stop working tho. I know I have a few extensions that eventually were disabled daily and I had to enable them each time I started chrome

This might be what makes he leave for Firefox full time. A bummer indeed

Edit: ha, just saw what sub/community this is. I use FF but only for browsing… privately ;]

Why not just use Firefox all the time? Literally zero reason to use Chrome except for the rare website that doesn’t work with Firefox?

I can understand them, I use Firefox on my PC, but Chrome on my phone, as I can’t live without tab groups there, for me it’s almost unusable without it, as I always have 100+ tabs open on my mobile browser

When they’ll add it, I’ll use Firefox on both

@Fitik@fedia.io Have you tried using Firefox Multi-account containers for this purpose?

I use the extension Simple Tab Groups for Firefox.

I mean, they are different so it is totally possible for someone to like one over the other, and that’s aside from the very simple reason of being used to it and/or not wanting to copy everything over like, passwords, payment methods, bookmarks, extensions (most important reason for me), etc.

I honestly just keep think I’ll eventually switch permanently when Google forces me to. It’s the same reason I’m here; reddit forced my hand. I’m equally waiting for Microsoft to force me to switch to Linux.

Also, typing that out, I do realize this isn’t a great mentality to have (I’m being forced to do x) but maybe that’s just the result of building my castle in foreign kingdoms. It’s basically damage control out here! lol

If you aren’t motivated at this point to switch to Firefox (or at least away from Chrome) then you never will be. I just don’t understand man. I really don’t.

Yea, I’ll have to switch eventually. But let’s hope the manifest v2 is not too difficult to put back in
