Tell HN: Firefox has madea lotof progress. Let the browser wars continue
Like many others around here, i switch over to chrome around the v8 days when it was a superior runtime and haven't looked back. Due to the recent youtube shanangins with adblock and adding a Thread.Sleep(5 seconds) call to every webpage load, i decided to try out firefox again. I had alot of extensions (ublock, bitwarden etc) so i was concerned this was gonna be a whole thing.
I downloaded firefox, it imported the chrome history and all the plugins i had and i was pretty much continuing where i left off without any issues or "noticing the change".
I'm no longer concerned about manifest v3, youtube adblock warfare etc and it's nice to have a complete drop in replacement for chrome so we don't end up like the intel days where it had no competition and suffered with 4 core cpus for a decade.
