Show me another browser that still runs uBlock Origin.
Other browsers may be less resource intensive but with unreadable internet.

Mozilla should rebrand Mv2 to SuperM or something like that. People that believe Mv3 is as powerful are simply wrong. Also malicious browser plugins weren't a sensible threat for years now.
Of course this is about making browsers less customizable, Googles wet dream of web integrity. Integrity with ads, ads, ads...
The security argument is so perverted in this instance, although that also didn't stop mobile OS from being majorly shitty until you install an ssh client.
Personally, Tree-style tabs (via Sideberry nowadays) is why I can't let go of Firefox. Seems some browsers have started adding vertical tabs, which is cool, but missing the holy tree structure still.
A browser that blocks ads, has tree-style tabs and is FOSS would be enough for me to switch, doesn't even have to have addons/extensions if those things are built-in.
> how do you stop seeing multiple tab strips
Easy, change the userChrome.css to this:
$ cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/$profile.default/chrome/userChrome.css
#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
#main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
Used to use Tree Style Tab too! But I think Sideberry is better in terms of feeling snappier, at least that's what I remember from moving from TST to Sideberry.
Right now, I have ~110 tabs open, and the "Extensions" item in about:processes shows ~400MB used, but that's all extensions, ~10 in total, not just Sideberry. But to be honest, I'm not sure I'd notice performance issues until too late, as I'm sitting on quite a bit of RAM already.
Vivaldi is what I use. uBlock works fine with it. I have no issues with content loading or anything weird. I just describe it as "chrome, but if someone actually cared about the UI and functionality", and the mouse gestures are super nice.
I went to it from Firefox ages ago and haven't looked back or missed Firefox and all its issues even once.
I can't say your experience with it will be as good as mine or not, but it is a browser with adblock, which is also built in, but I prefer the plugin version.
Not just unreadable - actively malicious. Every now and then I run into a website with a bunch of custom javascript that doesn't function in Firefox, and I'll have to open up Edge or Chromium (depending on what computer I'm using). Every time this happens, I'm immediately accosted with "features" or advertisements attempting to hijack my experience to sell me something or steal from me.
As long as Firefox supports the tools that protect me from the hostile behavior of websites, it will remain my browser of choice.
Brave re-implemented everything uBlock Origin does, and did it in Rust.
Don't use the crypto portion??
I don't know what else to tell you, you're not even paying for the browser, it's a free service. Any browser that implements an ad blocker is probably also going to have a lot of features you don't use
"crypto-aligned" is such a gigantic red herring.
so use the --disable-features flag at runtime?
maybe go into brave://flags and disable the wallet?
or just admit you're only against Brave because Brendan Eich privately donated $2,000 to a failed CA Proposition?
I was using a Chromium-based browser for a bit until I looked into how forks are handling the Mv3 changeover. Seems none them are willing to maintain Mv2 support. A couple of them claim it's fine because they have ad blocking built into the browser, but I know from experience none of them work as well as uBO. So, I switched back to Firefox where I'm plenty happy.
