I actually ended up switching from Firefox to Chromium, Chromium overall is just faster and nicer to use (also a bit more secure I think, if it matters)
Ublock origin and mv3 aren’t as much of an issue as I assumed at first, ubo lite works fine
The deprecation of Manifest V2 is almost guaranteed to kick off a glut of advertisement systems that exploit the intentional weaknesses of V3. Outside of building a uBlock Origin compatible filter system into the browser, which is what Brave did (and Mozilla copied into Firefox recently), there’s not really a way to get around this.
You know that V2 is just now on its way out? wait until Alphabet decides that they have waited long enough to deliver the death blow to ublock lite, which can’t update blocklists without a lengthy, weeks-long alphabet-controlled update process.
No, there won’t be. Not one of those spin-offs has the manpower available to keep V2 running when Alphabet introduces breaking changes in their code. Many of those forks have been removing (often silently) the statement reassuring their users.
Leaving where? There is no safe harbor. You are using WebKit, Gecko, or Chromium and thats final.
I’ve started using canada post.
Falkon will be viable aaaaany day now!
Sarcasm aside, I do hope it picks up steam. It’s a nice browser.

You’re about to have a rough few months, methinks.

If chromium ever gets too shitty to use there’s about a billion other chromium based browsers like Helium that will fix the issues so
Huff that copium hufffff.

There are chromium based browsers that integrate the mv2 version of unlock origin if I ever need it

Helium advertises UBlock Origin as one of their selling points so I don’t see them giving that away without a fight
