I have a confession to make... I switched from #Chrome to #LibreWolf on my work computer, and after just four days, it feels like I’ve been using it for a decade. No trackers, no Manifest V3 nonsense. Just pure, peaceful browsing.
Now, I can’t help but regret all those wasted years with Chrome. 😔
Next mission: finding a solid alternative for my personal computer and iPhone. Any recommendations?
