I tried transitioning to FF from Chrome several times, but it just feels so unresonsive and slow in comparison. I really wanted to, but ultimately couldn't.

On a side note: You can manually install uBlock and just continue using it:

- Enter chrome://flags in chrome’s URL input

- Search for ‘Allow legacy extension manifest versions’

- Enable it and relaunch browser

- Download the latest zip file of uBlock version from github: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

- Under Assets, download the chromium zip and extract it

- Open the extension page in chrome, click the Load Unpacked button on top left side load (enable Developer Mode in the top right if it doesn't appear), then select the extracted folder.

Only with Chrome 138 and lower. Chrome 139 will not support Manifest V2 anymore.

Seriously, use Firefox if you want to use uBlock Origin.

Oh! :/

Understandable. I tried moving from Firefox to Chrome but I couldn't. Pages are so slow to load and there are adds everywhere.

Right there with you. I cannot understand how people manage to use Chrome without an ad-blocker. It's just so slow and makes my laptop heat up and run out of memory...

I'm curious what would make you even want to try with all the shenanigans Google has been up to. It seems obvious that its a bad idea.

What parts felt unresponsive and slow?
