It literally took me less than ten minutes to set up firefox. I carried all my bookmarks and passwords from edge and set up a mozilla account and everything is synced across linux, windows and android.

The only thing I'm worried of, is if some websites require chrome to work, as was the case with some government sites that only worked with internet explorer in the old days.

(Does anyone know if the default user agent is chrome? I used to log in a local streaming site from edge and it wouldn't work, as it required chrome, but I used an extension to take care of the user agent. On firefox it works no problem.)

I imagine most of us here already don't use Google Chrome, but I'll be spending some time proselytizing on the behalf of Mozilla for Firefox with the folks I run across.

Stop using Chrome, it is adware at this point. Use Firefox or if that's too different, use ~~Brave~~ or Edge or a different chromium offshoot that isn't going to support manifest v3.

This was the plan all along

I wonder if the DoJ actually does split up Google if separating Chrome would make any difference with behavior like this?

I wonder if we trained an AI on the entire corpus of articles about how Google is gonna kill adblocking, if we could keep these articles going after most people switch uneventfully over to Lite.

I've used Librewolf since the first time Google announced these kinda plans I'm thinking it must be at least 3 years now.

Theres tons of options Librewolf is overkill to be honest Firefox would be fine.

Firefox downloads a spike by 30 million. Will be the next headline.

Look like I need to convince my dad to switch now

This headline is premature. They haven't pulled the plug yet. I still have Chrome installed, fully updated, and all the extensions are still there.
