- coldpie 1y agoUse a better browser: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
- lambdaba 1y agoI was back on Firefox for a few months, and it's noticeably slower and drains battery (on M2 Air).
- noname120 1y agoIf Safari is OK you could move to Orion: https://kagi.com/orion/ https://kagi.com/orion/
- lambdaba 1y agoI tried it briefly but I think it's semi-abandoned? Maybe I should give it another shot. Only non negociables for me are Stylish and Violentmonkey.
- speckx 1y agoOrion is not abandoned, the last beta, version 0.99.133 was released on April 21, 2025. See https://kagi.com/orion/updates/orion-release-notes.html https://kagi.com/orion/updates/orion-release-notes.html.
- aquir 1y agoI would love to but I can't use the MacOS default password manager :(
- albumen 1y agoSafari supports 3rd-party password managers like 1password no problem.
- kitchi 1y agoTake a look at Zen browser - it's a fork of firefox ESR, with some dramatic UI changes made to look similar to the Arc browsers. I've been using it on my Mac M1 and I only notice the memory footprint when I have > 30 - 40 tabs open.
- dddw 1y agoUblock-lite is there, but better switch to firefox or brave
- ozcap 1y agoYou can still install the extension manually. This is a good video on how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQX2lgePAKk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQX2lgePAKk
- lukasgraf 1y agoInstall it using an enterprise profile and enable the ExtensionManifestV2Availability flag: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43340358 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43340358 Still works for me to this day, but this option might get axed come June 2025.
