    Firefox for life! Well as long as they don’t go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.

    1. Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it’s for security.
    2. Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
    3. ???
    4. Profit… or people hopefully switch

        Maintaining a browser is an insane amount of work. Without Mozilla working on Firefox, LibreWolf will stagnate and become unusable.

      I mean, they’ve already started cutting some features I have used… So I’ve got Firefox and Pale Moon on my PC to cover the loss of ftp support. And since some pages don’t work in Firefox in either instance of engine, I have to have Chrome installed…

        It genuinely sucks that some websites don’t bother to support Firefox! When you encounter one, you might want to complain to the devs and open a webcompat issue.

        I have already encountered some websites which didn’t work with Chrome very well, but did with Firefox. They mentioned it’s because of how Chrome now handles audio, the audio doesn’t start.
