Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.
What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.
I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it’s going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I’m tired of fixing the task bar icons.
Could’ve gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)
Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.

I would block Google on dns level at home if my kid and partner didn’t use it for work. Google is so shitty.
Right, but wouldn’t that mean Firefox+uBlock would also stop working for YouTube as well?

Ha, yes that’s what I was concerned about. FF still definitely a better option. Thanks for the explanation!
Yeah, haha, the days of monopolistic companies taking away your options and forcing you into a paid pigeon hole. We’re sliding down the slope and picking up speed.
