"BypassPaywallsClean" is a must-have extension for the modern internet.

Does anybody else use multiple browsers? Maybe it's just because I'm doing web-dev right now, but I think using as many browsers as possible is necessary as I find inconsistencies that could become bugs all the time. I use Firefox as my "main" and Chrome as my "alt".

I use chrome as a backup. Though initially I only did this to support some legacy software that only worked through Flash (don't ask), so if I'm forced to use Chrome I get the distinct impression that I'm looking at a buggy/legacy/badly written webpage.

What's the difference between "BypassPaywallsClean" and "BypassPaywalls"?

I have to use Chromium for MS teams unfortunately (calls and screen sharing are not allowed on FF)

Yes, now everything is in a browser there aren't different programs visible on the taskbar so I make do with different browsers for different tasks. It's not because I love browsers, it's a bodge for the decline of good dedicated desktop GUI programs.
