Google Chrome change that weakens ad blockers begins June 3rd
Google is continuing with its plan to phase out Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome starting in early June 2024, weakening the abilities of ad blockers.
You're viewing a single thread.
As soon as I heard of the mere plan to do this, I ditched Chromium altogether and went back to Firefox. Ultimately, I landed on the fork Floorp.
Can you elaborate on why floorp is better than Firefox? Is it just more customization?

Pros: vertical tabs, web apps, side panel, workspaces, many customizations. to be clear tho, Firefox has already stated they will be incorporating most of these features by version 130 or sooner.
Cons: no mobile app, video playback with DRM may be an issue on some sites, uncertain future, essentially it's maintained by one dev so if they ever go the future is uncertain.
tl;dr, Floorp is kind of like Vivaldi with customizing and privacy in mind, but based on Firefox's gecko engine
Thanks!
I had the exact same journey as you: Chrome to Chromium to Firefox to Floorp.
