It's true :)
"Fast" means "close" or "almost" in German. Yeah, I agree. They almost had me convinced there were no alternatives to their little browser-data-collector-thingy.

Firefox or any other non chromium based browser
Genuinely don't know of any others but Firefox. I do a little lynx sometimes for super sus stuff but it's barely a browser....
There’s WebKit and KHTML based ones, although I don’t know of any mainstream browsers that use those aside from safari or iOS. Other niche options exist for Linux.
There's also DuckDuckGo's browser - but I'm not sure what it's based on.
Fairly certain its Webkit.
It's Blink based as far as I know, well at least on Android, iOS still doesn't allow other browsers.
The only others I know of are Mac-only: Safari and Orion.
Orion is great. I wish there was a Linux version.
Gnome Epiphany (renamed to Gnome Web at some point?) uses Safari's rendering engine.
Never heard of Orion before!
Orion is by the developers of Kagi (a paid search engine that is actually as good, if not better, than Google) and has ad-blocking and anti-tracking built in natively. It's awesome.
Oooooh, now you've got me interested. I've heard good things about Kagi's paid search and yet to give it a try.

Fast haben sie ein nützliches Programm geschaffen.
They almost made a useful program.
Fasten is also a verb in German.
A depressed loaf of bread taught me "Mist" means "crap" in German
Why do you have ads?
i use it with firefox. very solid adblock. never had a single issue over about three years.
How neutered is that for Manifest V3?
In Firefox, it's not. YMMV in other browsers.
I guess the Sync app uses chromium so clicking the link took me to the Chrome extension so I thought that is what you explicitly linked.
Quite a lot. There's a lite version for Mv3, but it's hands are tied
And already today, uBlock Origin works best on Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
The best out there!
a question, what is the difference between uBlock and uBlock Origin?
uBlock Origin is the real deal, don't use uBlock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin#uBlock
Its almost as fast as firefox.
Wow so edgy
This thread has more drama than the opera.

FTFY
These people behave like wild animals at a safari
Internet Explorer is not responding
In this hellish netscape I sure could use a good navigator.
Yep, that's why I use Firefox lol
reminder that any proprietary piece of software is technically malware
Edge sure feels like malware. Installs itself without asking. Spams you into oblivion when you use it. I hab real malware that was less intrusive.
Well... thats just unfortunate :D
