My experience is similar to yours, Tyler: I use #Firefox, #uBlockOrigin and a bunch of other self-defence plugins, such as #decentraleyes and #PrivacyBadger, all running on Linux. With one exception, everything Just Works. The only site that requires #GoogleChrome is a private site run by my employer. That, IMHO, is just sloppy engineering; it shouldn't be hard to run an HR site without locking clients into a single browser.

Lauren, if you'd like to persevere with Firefox, you might consider typing about:profiles into the address bar, setting up a new profile (a trivial operation), and seeing if that works with the sites you want to use.

ICYMI, a while back I did release my #macOS app, Browser Actions.

BA lets you use #Apple #Shortcuts to automate #GoogleChrome, #MicrosoftEdge, #Vivaldi, #Chromium, #BraveBrowser, and #Safari – with actions for navigating, working with forms, clicking page elements, handling windows & tabs, getting data out, and more!

14d trial, perpetual licenses, no subs.

(I'd really appreciate some boosts ♻️ – it's hard to get new apps noticed, and I'm struggling quite a bit 😬)

#GoogleChrome is going to keep third-party cookies turned on by default, but it's pretty easy to turn them off (along with other ad features) by putting a "managed policies" file in the right place. Saves having to remember to do it for all users and profiles. (And there's a similar file to control the built-in ad features in #Firefox, too.)

Of all the places where Google Chrome wouldn't run, I wouldn't pick the Ubuntu 24.10 live environment, but here we are.

I installed, but there's some problem with sandboxing, and it won't run:

Terminal output at the bottom after install:

Notice: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/ubuntu/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

My new app Browser Actions adds #macOS #Shortcuts support for #GoogleChrome, #MicrosoftEdge, #Safari, #Vivaldi, #Chromium, and #BraveBrowser! Now you can use Shortcuts to …

- create, find, filter, manipulate browser windows/ tabs/ pages
- work with browser menus
- send keystrokes, mimic typing
- interact w/ pages, click and scroll
- fill out forms
- extract info, selection as plain text or #Markdown (tables and everything!), the current DOM, all text content, etc.

Does anyone else play #WebGames on #Firefox? I really appreciate Firefox for its strong focus on #Accessibility, the fact that it’s #OpenSource, and that
extensions like uBlock Origin still work fully here, unlike on #GoogleChrome. But I’ve been having some issues. When I tried playing a web game, the performance
became sluggish, my #ScreenReader didn’t always activate buttons when I pressed the spacebar, and sometimes the #browser froze completely, leaving me unable
to interact with it.
These problems might push me back to #MicrosoftEdge or Chrome unless there’s a fix. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips?
