      I thought Chrome was planning to oust ad blockers in 2024. Idk if that’s true though, maybe I’m mis-remembering.

      I’ve kinda stuck with Firefox for many years now because I never saw any reason not too. I honestly hardly ever used extensions though (except ad blockers), so maybe there’s something I don’t understand about any downfalls of Firefox. I just don’t see any, especially nowadays. It just works for me, so I never fully switched.

      I’ve tried other browsers, but I just come back to Firefox ever time. It’s a comfort at this point
