edit: just installed WaterFox and apparently they use bing, very interesting choice. I am not sure if I am for that, but heck I can change the default engine. So, I don’t care
also, I like Waterfox already uninstalled Chrome. I can’t believe I didn’t know this until now. Why can’t Firefox do this btw?
I know firefox is the only non-chrome browser out there, but how hard is it to make an extension for firefox along with chrome?
I cry myself to sleep knowing that the extensions I want are available on Chrome and not on Firefox. And it’s not going to get any better as Firefox is not gaining any users. Also, why the hell is this the case? I would pay to use Firefox! It’s FOSS and it has so many features, Idk, deserves to be no 1, but it’s f*cking dying!
There are some extensions I can’t live without and only for those extensions I am forced to keep Chrome on my computer. I don’t like Chrome and I don’t want Chrome but I want them extensions :(
Also, how safe is Chromium? Is it de googled? I think I might go for de-googled chromium + Firefox from now on. I will uninstall Chrome. I have disabled updates for it anyways!
Depends on your aptitude & what you want the extensions to do (some being much more complex than others), but most people can learn the skills needed.
You’ll only know if you try, but even if you can’t manage to write exactly what you want, you’ll learn a lot on the way.
There are great resources out there, and forums where you can seek help from more experienced people.
There’s also Orion browser, which isn’t FOSS, but which takes both Firefox & Chromium extensions.
Edit: I don’t think supporting both chrome and firefox extensions is a major selling point anymore. I don’t know a single extension which is available on FF which isn’t available on Chrome.
Aye, but OP wants extensions which are on Chrome but which are not on Firefox.
