    People should be uninstalling Chrome instead.

    Adblocking still works fine on Firefox. Just update your UBO filters.

      I literally have un-installed chrome. I had to use it on an office machine today and it felt weird.

        The default browser at my work is Firefox lol, only our testing team and a few others use Chrome. It’s a pretty welcome change 👍

        I find it a little funny when we get Chrome-specific bug reports though

      Aside from Firefox, are there any decent non-Chromium-based browsers left?

          Thanks.

          For anyone else interested, as of November 2023:

          Web browsers using Gecko (Firefox’s engine): GNU IceCat, Waterfox, K-Meleon, Lunascape, Portable Firefox, Conkeror, Classilla, TenFourFox.

          Web browsers using the Goanna engine (which is a fork of Gecko): Pale Moon, Basilisk.

          Flow is a web browser with its own proprietary browser engine.

          The other active engines listed are: WebKit (Apple’s engine), and Blink (Google’s engine, which they forked off of WebKit, and which is used for Chrome, Chromium, and countless other browsers).

        There are many. They’re just not as popular.
