A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team;

handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

The "Manifest v3" sabotage of content blocking extensions: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/10/23131029/mozilla-ad-blocking-firefox-google-chrome-privacy-manifest-v3-web-request
The attempted sabotage of #JPEGXL: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/chrome-banishes-jpeg-xl-photo-format-that-could-save-phone-space/
#WebEnvironmentIntegrity a.k.a. #DRM for whole websites would hurt the web, #opensource browsers and OSes:

I never used Chrome. happy user of Firefox since it's conception.

I do most browsing on Firefox, but there are some web developers who seem to totally ignore anything but Chrome. Like I sometimes think a site is broken until I try it in Chrome. Anyone else have this issue and have a solution other than using Chrome?
