Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.
What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.
I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it’s going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I’m tired of fixing the task bar icons.
Could’ve gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)
Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.
Good decision! :) Yay for one more user!
Welcome back!
There were points at which Firefox was difficult to stick with, especially after the extension apocalypse, but I think it’s evolving pretty well at this point.
I did the same a while back. Youtube with ublock origin is awesome!
Genuinely curious, and I intend to switch back in the near future, but I’ve also been using chrome for years now with uBlock and YouTube has remained ad-less to this day. Has something changed recently?
Right, but wouldn’t that mean Firefox+uBlock would also stop working for YouTube as well?
Welcome back!
I suspect I’ll be ditching Opera on desktop/Android for FF as soon as the manifest V3 changes make it to opera and kill ad blocking. Shouldn’t be long now.
