I used FF for a long time then chrome because of how much was deved for it. Now I’m trying to switch back to FF, but getting out of the chrome eco system is such a pain in the ass

Personally had an ok switch. My biggest issue was auto completions. Which was solved with Bitwarden.

I need to just bite the bullet and deal with the swap, as chrome has gotten worse and worse over the years

LibreWolf doesn’t have the privacy invasive pocket extension out of the box, and instead comes with UBlock origin. It disables Google safe browsing, because Google, and denies canvas access to websites by default. It also disables the Mozilla telemetry that’s enabled by default in vanilla Firefox.
