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.

Both have privacy and security enhancements that significantly affect performance and slightly convenience. Regular Firefox can be a better option for some of them. But the browsers you listed are still great
Performance? I’d expect it to be faster when running less stuff. What are they doing additionally that reduces performance?
Anti Commercial-AI license
lol I love the ‘anti commercial ai license’ footer that you think will do anything. Such a boomer move! Got any funny jokes to forward to me over email?
I think the point isn’t that the scrapper is NOT going to record their messages, but instead that it WILL regardless. Then making use of a training data unmasking exploit, the company (theoretical if the law sides with the individual) needs to fully retrain their model to remove the message text. This puts a lot if faith in copyright law, which is strong in the USA (and others) but rarely enforced to the benefit of small creators. Very little legal precedent.
Man the performance hit really is there, especially on HDDs. Content blocker kind of stuff is the reason I think. It’s basically like a real-time scanner
Compared to loading ads? Most people will see an overall speedup when blocking ads even with the extra overhead.
Idk for me it’s crazy slow. There’s even like severe input lag and unresponsiveness sometimes
librewolf is cool but I think it’s too privacy optimised for the average user, it often doesn’t keep you signed into sites (even with cookies enabled) and the ocsp things can be annoying sometimes
I tried it and because I 2FA everything, this is why I stopped. It also kept resetting my settings every time I tried to fix it. It lasted less than a week.
