I switched to Firefox many years ago, after their announcement I switched to Waterfox and I'm very happy with it.

Doesn't cover 100% of what uBO did, but it still works just as good IMO with DNS based ad-blocking on top.

Yeah, I heard someone say a week or so ago that they straight disabled it in the browser, and now only the gimped version that works with Manifest V3 works now. Thankfully I switched to Firefox when all this Manifest V3 stuff was announced. As far as I know it's the only browser out there that isn't based on Chromium (which Google also controls, so browsers like Brave will likely be affected by this soon as well, unless a bunch of those smaller browsers get together and fork Chromium and maintain it themselves, which I'm not very hopeful about) and so doesn't have to worry about these shenanigans.

Webserial is only reason I see to install Chrome. For everything else Firefox works great.

Not surprising, Google is an ad company at this point.

It never was anything else

It's really annoying to me that Firefox doesn't seem to work well on my chromebook, so I'm stuck with Chrome until I need a new computer...
