I've disabled chrome on all my devices some time ago, so this is fine.
That's why we need to switch away from this proprietary garbage and use Firefox or LibreWolf (Firefox on steroids with less bloat, improved privacy and even pre-installed uBlock Origin)
Does libre wolf support Wayland?
Yes, I use it on Hyprland and it works perfectly.
Not sponsored, I just genuinely like the product. Adguard doesn't require manifests because it works outside the browser.
On the other news I hope this bullshit is finally the straw that kills chrome.
Hope springs eternal. Most people without an adblocker don't even notice that their web experience has become an ad-ridden hellscape.
Highly doubt it. So many other browsers on so many platforms (mobile, tv, Auto,...) are built on Chrome and will have this by extension.
And opening most links in Android apps still opens them in Chrome, even if Firefox is your default browser.
Time for Android to get the EU treatment.
How about the US fixes some of its shit for once? Instead of exporting disgusting practices and forcing others to fix them?
I don't have this issue m Samsung galaxy s9+ on stock Android.
Everything opens in the duckduckgo browser by default. The only time I see Chrome is when it's for when a web site doesn't load in ddg or firefox
I'm doing this from a Samsung, so the steps might differ slightly, but go into apps, scroll down to Chrome, select it, and then tick the 'Disable' option. Now Chrome literally can't open anything.
you might have forgotten to set your browser of choice as the default webview
Early Christmas present for FireFox, yay!
idk what people say but webextensions were a mistake.
Does this apply to all Chromium based browsers? I would like to switch to Firefox, but the touchscreen scroll there is terrible, and that is 90% of what I do in a browser.
yes it does.
what trouble are you having with FF's scroll? it's worked perfectly fine on every device I've ever seen, you sure it's not a problem with your setup?
The deceleration is way too low and it's hard to get it to focus where I want on the page fast. The deceleration is inconsistent between touchscreen and touchpad, which works fine. I tried looking around for configurations for it but couldn't find any. Touchscreen support in Chrome is just generally better
