Ditch Google trash. Go for alternatives. E.g., Firefox instead of Chrome.

Firefox isn’t going to solve the issue of overly bloated websites.

That seems like a fake website. Here is the real link: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

Are you sure that Firefox is a good alternative, given all the things they’ve been doing lately? And why not fork, by the way?

Also, Google is funding Mozilla, so… yeah.

Because it’s still better than Chrome? They still support ManifestV2 which is necessary for AdBlockers like uBlock to work properly

Every other browser uses chrome and just puts their stuff on top. So you either use actual Google chrome, a rebrand (I know it’s not exactly that nor that simple), or you use Firefox.

Yeah, you’re right. This is a choice without a choice, basically.

I was really hesitant to switch to Firefox. It took a long time for me to finally leave the Mozilla suite and accept that Firefox was the one going forward.

It gets even better when you add:

Tab Stash

And

Auto Tab Discard

Tab Stash lets me stash a big ridiculous research or shopping session I’d want to return to, under a nice collection label for later.

And Auto Tab Discard will essentially unload open tabs you haven’t touched in a while, so they’ll load from scratch when you “wake them up”, but they’re not hogging all your RAM. It’s fantastic.

Yeah we should stop using Chromium based browsers, because they favour Google indirectly.

I remember not long ago showing my linux desktop on reddit and everybody was going crazy because I was still using Firefox and Chrome is the browser to use nowdays and all that crap, I guess times have changed for the better, and yes I still use firefox

I started to use firefox back in 2007.

I have never changed back. If someday there’s a better alternative I’d switch. But sure thing that chromium based browsers are not an alternative.
