Urgh.

Fine.

Firefox on the desktop it is.

These extensions were turned off because they're no longer supported Chrome recommends that you remove them. Learn more about supported extensions /  ublock origin

@mattjbones I've been using Firefox on my laptop for a while (mostly to ensure that I "automatically" test my company's offering on Chrome and Firefox at the same time), and it's fine.

I'm not really interested in the tiny browser forks, it's kinda like distro hopping: I'm totally game for other people to do it, but I am just not that kind of person who wants to constantly move from thing to thing (also I have general concerns over security update schedules with these many browser forks)

@AlexSW101 my experience with "dig through enough menus you can turn it back on again" on chrome is it eventually you'll be disappointed anyway, all that you are doing is offsetting the disappointment by a few months.

The easiest example is how you can no longer turn off the "browsing journeys" feature, i had that stuff turned off because it was extremely annoying and now i have no choice but to deal with it.

Well actually I do have a choice, just choose not to use chrome :P
