    Others will present themselves. Mozilla have been on a downtrend for years. I’ve heard of a couple of alternatives, but I don’t have the experience with any of them. If anyone knows any good Firefox alternatives, please let us know!

      If by that you mean “some alt-right-adjacent bro will come up with a new browser that’s essentially reskinned Chromium with a crypto wallet duct-taped to it”, you’re probably right

      This used to be the thought, but the trouble is, HTML is now such a vastly complex web of requirements, mixed with the unwritten rules set by Chrome, it’s doubtful another browser could push forward easily; especially without a major source of funding.

        I suppose for me personally the question will always be: how good is it with adblocks? Especially on youtube as that’s where I spend a lot of my time. SponsorBlock on Firefox has been invaluable for me, not just blocking ads, but auto-skipping the whole “like, comment subscribe” and in-video ads etc.

          Built in ad block is decent, you can add extra filter lists the same way you can with ublock origin

          That said, just install ublock origin and sponsorblock as an extension from the chrome store

          It has Adblock Plus built in which is not the best, but still pretty alright. You can still install most regular chrome extensions though and should be able to get mostly the same experience you have now.
