The new MV3 architecture reflects Google’s avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant’s attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory’s new software architecture will lead to less effective privacy and content-filtering extensions.
For users of uBlock Origin, which runs on Manifest V2, “options” means using the less capable uBlock Origin Lite, which supports Manifest V3.
yeah the solution here is so simple, yet most people seem allergic to firefox.
I have serious video playing issues on Firefox. I thought it was ublock, so i tried turning it off but video and live streams still take forever to load they freeze, too. My computer is very powerful so that’s not the issue. No idea what is.
Running Linux? Graphic drivers all updated and is FF updated?
Nah, im on windows 10, unfortunately.
drivers all up to date?
Yeah I think so
You may want to try disabling DNS over https as that was causing similar issues for me https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
I guess there is an option to activate to read DRM content (it exists on librewolf, not sure if it is there on Firefox too). it is activated ?
I am on Linux and Firefox works better than chrome for my system
I don’t on mobile because it’s way too slow.
But I guess that isn’t applicable to this post because mobile Chromium doesn’t have ublock anyway…
And on linux, I have firefox issues with wayland because of some Nvidia thing. Chromium too, but its less severe and I can actually get GPU acceleration working.
Firefox on mobile has extensions. You can have whatever ad blocker you want. You can automatically replace pictures of trump with kittens. I’m sure there are other extensions that are useful too. I’ll take that over some negligible purported speed increase any day.
Kiwi browser on Android is Chromium based & has had the ability to add extensions such as uBlock for years
Indeed, though I prefer skipping extensions on mobile because (as said above) native implementations tend to be faster and more power efficient.
Ublock is probably an exception though. It’s quite fast.
