I replaced Chrome with Firefox — here’s what surprised me

The article explores the author's transition from Chrome to Mozilla Firefox, highlighting concerns over Chrome's adblocker restrictions and AI integration. It reflects on the seamless integration of Google services while considering Firefox's potential benefits for users.


What is Manifest V3 and how does it affect ad blockers in Chrome?
Manifest V3 is Google Chrome's updated extension framework that limits ad blockers to 30,000 rules, significantly restricting powerful tools like uBlock Origin which requires around 300,000 rules, leading to reduced effectiveness, ad flicker, and forcing alternatives like uBlock Origin Lite or browser switches.[1][2]

Why might Firefox be better for ad blocking compared to Chrome?
Firefox still supports the more flexible Manifest V2 framework, allowing full-powered ad blockers like the original uBlock Origin to function without the severe limitations imposed by Chrome's Manifest V3, providing more effective ad and tracker blocking.[1][2]

UFC 326 live stream: how to watch Holloway vs Oliveira 2, start time, preview, full card

A highly anticipated rematch between legendary lightweights Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira is set for UFC 326, 11 years in the making. The publication provides a guide to live stream the event online from anywhere.


What is the BMF title that Max Holloway is defending at UFC 326?
The BMF title stands for 'baddest motherfucker' and is a symbolic championship belt in the UFC. It is not an official UFC championship but rather a prestige title awarded to fighters who exemplify the fighting spirit and entertainment value the organization celebrates. Max Holloway is defending this title against Charles Oliveira in the UFC 326 main event.

Why is this rematch between Holloway and Oliveira significant after 11 years?
The first fight between Holloway and Oliveira in August 2015 ended unsatisfactorily when Oliveira suffered a neck and shoulder injury during a takedown attempt just under two minutes into the bout, resulting in a technical knockout. Both fighters have since evolved significantly in their careers—Holloway became a dominant striker and former featherweight champion, while Oliveira transformed into a submission specialist and former lightweight champion with 22 submission victories. This rematch allows them to settle their rivalry under completely different circumstances, with both now established as UFC legends competing at the highest level for over a decade.
