Google are cutting the branch they are sitting on. I only use Chrome because certain extensions are not available on Firefox. During all these years, they've become impossible to deal with. I open Chrome with 10 tabs and after a couple of hours it's using gigabytes of RAM. From a thin client, it became the thickest client in the visible universe. It's time to consider options... not that there are many.
- yellowapple 6y ago> I only use Chrome because certain extensions are not available on Firefox. Which extensions? Especially now that Firefox has moved to WebExtensions, it should (in theory at least) be straightforward for someone to port them over. Like, if anything it's usually the other way around (Chrome not supporting extensions that Firefox supports).
- shklnrj 6y agoI just started using Brave and most extensions are available. Pretty good from privacy point of view as well. Check it out.
