That is impossible for many people for the same reason why they still on Xitter, etc. They believe, that with enough willpower, the people ruining our software infrastructure can be convinced for the better. And also many people still believe that if you criticize their "meme browser" made by the cool "don't be evil" company, you're a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow.

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

God, this is like those people who still insist on running Windows 7
Tbf, win7 was the best os i ever used. Only to be royally fucked by win8, win10 and win11. Oh how it has fallen...

Just use edge, it’s chrome based. Or any other chrome based browsers that aren’t google chrome?
well this is just silly advice. that's like saying "Don't use Chrome, use Vivaldi" it's all chromium thus it will also disable uBlock.
Get off ALL chromium based browsers. I loved Vivaldi but I haven't used it in well over a year. Switch to FF or a Fork of it like Floorp OR if you're like me and don't like Mozilla use QuteBrowser and never have to worry about anything ever again.

Is there an easy way to do this? I tried it for YouTube cause they slow Firefox down to a crawl but it didn't seem to do anything. Maybe the extension I downloaded was at fault but I couldn't find an easy way to just do it in Firefox without an extension.
This is the Firefox extension I use, I would check the headers your browser passes with WhoAmI to verify your user-agent, alternatively you can use invidious to get around YouTube’s bullshit.
I host a public Invidious instance for folks with a Canadian IP - https://inv.halstead.host/

Well some haven’t disabled ublock yet. So it isn’t that silly if chrome based is what they need to run for certain sites. Just use something that is based off it and isn’t stoping ublock yet.

Is this actually easier than installing librewolf?

uBlock Origin Lite seems to work fine for me.

It blows my mind how many people use chrome over edge thinking that they are making super smart choice. I feel like I was still seeing memes on reddit making fun of Edge over Chrome.

And here I am, seeing both as equivalent. I honestly don't see a meaningful difference between Edge and Chrome...

They're the same browser though. They use the same rendering engine, same JavaScript engine, etc. There are more similarities than differences.

Hmm, openSUSE Tumbleweed has been the best OS I've ever used, and it's still available. Windows 7 was marginally better than Vista because they fixed the broken stuff, but it still had all the problems of a Windows OS.

Nope. It also sounds like it will repeatedly break after updates.

Can't wait till Kagi Browser releases their Linux version of a browser based on webkit, but it's prob at least another year or more frmo being released and Gnome Web is so featureless it's useless and can't even play YouTube videos half the time in 2025...
Check out LibreWolf. There’s no reason to wait.

Librewolf is too hardened for my use case. By the time I tweak Librewolf to my liking, it's functionally Firefox, but with a different icon, lol. Just gonna ride out Firefox for the next year or two and them jump off this ship.

My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.
Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.
Over the years I've bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I'd be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.
Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.
The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that "came with the computer" you're going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.

Horrible from a security standpoint. A good step into the future, but honestly let it go.
