Great, now cover over why you rolled over for manifest v2 shitcanning. YOU WERE MY CHOSEN ONE VIVALDI , I NEED A CHROME BACKUP
That’s not hard to explain: it would require a ton of resources to maintain a fork with manifest v2, for a small usecase. Vivaldi is a small company compared to say Mozilla.
Plus the main usecase for v2, ad blockers, is already covered by their built in one.
Vivaldi is a proprietary Chromium reskin. Use Librewolf.
Librawolf is simply firefox and I do, but there are things that need chrome. I need both of them for certain things.
For things that specifically need a Chromium-based browser, like WebUSB, I use ungoogled-chromium.
IMO Librewolf ain’t simply Firefox, and I don’t think folks wouldn’t say this if they gave Librewolf a chance. A lot of the corporate cruft/AI-adjacent stuff is removed, it’s not just a reskin with adblock. It’s a holistically better browser experience.
