Is Chrome the New IE?

Re:Is Chrome the New IE? by sowut on Monday November 18, 2024 @01:39PM (#42175462)

every time i get a new work machine i attempt to use a browser that is not chrome. last time was firefox, this time was safari. eventually i start using chrome on certain sites because of ublock origin. then, as was the case with aws, certain websites are flakey enough times that i just give in and use chrome full time.

side note: hey aws, why is your rds performance insights dashboard broken on safari? 33% of the time it will "freeze" and i have to reload the page. very un-dude like.

uBO works fine on Firefox for what it's worth. Maybe even better because of the lack of Manifest v3 restrictions.

uBlock Origin works best on Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...
