Librawolf is simply firefox and I do, but there are things that need chrome. I need both of them for certain things.

IMO Librewolf ain’t simply Firefox, and I don’t think folks would say this if they gave Librewolf a chance. A lot of the corporate cruft/AI-adjacent stuff is removed, it’s not just a reskin with adblock. It’s a holistically better browser experience.

Edit: removed unintentional double negative

I'm running Libre, it's my main, but can't use my webflashers, the support in google meet, sound and screen sharing is crap.

It's not a simple thing that I like chrome. A great deal of crap i need for work demands it.

And then I end up on Brave because I'm running a bunch of Manifest V2 plugins.

Also, firefox can't seem to get anti-fingerprinting right. Noone wants to be ready to lie and randomize data but brave.

I simply want to stop using brave as my second browser, I don't even want it installed, but I'm stuck with it.

Funny you say that because some sites just don't work in librewolf, which is because it is protecting you, but still adds to friction.

For things that specifically need a Chromium-based browser, like WebUSB, I use ungoogled-chromium.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ungoogle-chromium still has manifestV2?

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

No. Ungoogled-chromium is literally just Chromium with the Google shit stripped out. If you want manifest v2, use something based on Firefox, like Librewolf.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

yeah already main Libre, but that does nothing for me when I need webUSB webSerial or to use google meet sharing.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I just keep two browsers around for different purposes.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

That's what I do, but I don't want brave to be one of them :)

I think you'll find what you need in either Brave or Helium, or both.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Brave does what I need. I just really fucking hate those people. Last time I tried Helium i had to abandon, but fuck if I can remember why.
