Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

I've yet to find a single website that doesn't work in Firefox.

There are some sites out there that won't work. ESC Configurator won't work in Firefox because it needs web serial to program an ESC connected over a serial port. That's the only site I use that I have to run in chrome. I'm sure there are more out there, but they are not very common.
