I switched (back) to firefox again after some years, because chrome had become such shit.

So I switched to firefox - for the performance, the privacy protection, and the generally 'libre' values.

Within the space of a few updates, mozdev turned their back on literally all that. They embraced the same predatory surveillance advertising models, gave up any pretense of being interested in protecting user privacy, and have become, overnight, so slow as to make my system completely useless when accessing certain resources.

I guess I'm going to have to locate some obscure degoogled fork of something and hope for the best.

I like Firefox for the most part but sounds like you might like Librewolf?
