Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

I use Firefox and Brave at work. I need a Chromium-based browser, and Brave's ad-blocker works, otherwise I would be Firefox only.

since people here are more tech savvy than i could ever be if like to ask what you guys think of Vivaldi, because i like it a lot. super customizable, has quick command search, side panel lets me use some websites like extensions, and workspaces help me organize especially with work... has anyone used it and can anyone tell me if waterfox or other forks are better and how?

Are they going to do this on Edge? Please don't judge me. I love the "Continue on Mobile" feature.

I really like KDEs Falkon browser, based on QT web.

But it having no extension support kind of kills it for me...

I think LibreWolf is going to end up being the go-to browser at this rate.
