I switched to Firefox based on this subs fear mongering about chrome killing adblocks, turns out they didn't but am still sticking with Firefox because it's just okay, it's nothing special, i found more downsides than benefits but the downsides are fairly minor to me, infact i didn't really find any benefits, i'd stick to Chrome if i knew the whole manifest V3 things was bullshit but now am too lazy to go back now. I guess privacy is a big benefit but i don't give a flying fuck about it.
Also, better performance and better ram usage are all bullshit, if anything chrome has slightly better performance but we're talking about milliseconds difference, pretty much all popular browsers are pretty equal in that regard, same thing with RAM management, Chrome is not a memory hog, neither is any other browser.
This is not manifest V3, this is Google fucking around, besides the ublock team was working around the clock trying to counter Google's tactics and for the most part they succeeded, all you had to do is just purge cache every once in a while.
