1. install ublock origin on Firefox.
not even being annoying, edge is removing manifest v2 very soon, breaking proper ad blocks just like chrome

Firefox doesn't support PWAs on desktop and removed their previous self-designed equivalent years ago. It's the reason Brave is still running in the background on my machines.

Are you sure? I still see the "add tab to taskbar" option in the address bar and clicking it open the tab in a new window and shows a popup to pin the tab to the taskbar.

This is a narrative that MS, Google etc want you to believe. They gutted it for ads. That's what's happening. There are workarounds now, that's what the existing ad block options are. They are heavily kneecapped.

MV3 is severely limited in what it can do. One example that blew my mind is that chrome happily renders webpages immediately after application launch, while extensions are still loading.
Firefox, in contrast, doesn't let the network request fire off to the page until every extension is ready. So chrome is essentially screwing over the user, letting ads/ blocked content load, and intentionally degrading their experience, to make things appear slightly faster.
That's nothing to do with MV3 though, that was also true with MV2. The situation actually seems improved in MV3, because static (and dynamic, IIRC) DNR rules are initialized and enforced immediately, right?

Yet, I never see ads since ad blockers still have enough power to block ads.
