Librawolf is simply firefox and I do, but there are things that need chrome. I need both of them for certain things.

    IMO Librewolf ain’t simply Firefox, and I don’t think folks would say this if they gave Librewolf a chance. A lot of the corporate cruft/AI-adjacent stuff is removed, it’s not just a reskin with adblock. It’s a holistically better browser experience.

    Edit: removed unintentional double negative

    I'm running Libre, it's my main, but can't use my webflashers, the support in google meet, sound and screen sharing is crap.

    It's not a simple thing that I like chrome. A great deal of crap i need for work demands it.

    And then I end up on Brave because I'm running a bunch of Manifest V2 plugins.

    Also, firefox can't seem to get anti-fingerprinting right. Noone wants to be ready to lie and randomize data but brave.

    I simply want to stop using brave as my second browser, I don't even want it installed, but I'm stuck with it.

    For things that specifically need a Chromium-based browser, like WebUSB, I use ungoogled-chromium.

    No. Ungoogled-chromium is literally just Chromium with the Google shit stripped out. If you want manifest v2, use something based on Firefox, like Librewolf.
