Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

I just tried firefox because of this update but I had to switch back because it's so slow. Sacrificing competitive advantage stings too much to much just for this.

Interesting, I also just installed Firefox because of OPs comment, and I'm amazed at how much faster it is then Chrome.

I've been satisfied with Firefox speed for several years, ever since Chrome manifest version 3 crap started to become reality.

I keep many browsers on my laptop and use whichever one I must for in-compatibility reasons and primarily Firefox which makes me generally a happy camper. Mac os.

Mobile is different.
