If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

2 years later, the "Manifest" is doing it's job and still I know some people that would not leave their favorite Chrome.

Firefox is my daily driver and use a separate Chromium based browser for Google services, i.e. YouTube, Google Maps, Drive, etc.

Has Firefox gotten the feature to group or stack tabs together? I used to use Firefox and that was the main reason I moved to a chromium based one (Currently Vivaldi). I just need that 90% of the time

I'd love to get away from Chromium based browsers. At the moment I am using Brave.

Is there any other browser that works on and syncs between: MacOS, iPhone / iPad AND Windows? It also has to have adblock capabilities on all of the devices. FireFox with uBlock Origin would be my first choice but afaik you can't block ads on iPad / iPhone on it.

Any recommendations?

There's no perfect solution with tab/bookmark sync and iOS devices yet. Accepting that, you can have a safer, less frustrating browsing experience on iOS with Safari using 1Blocker.

If you want something similar to libredirect you can use Privacy Redirect - it's $2, not nearly as well executed, and Twitter redirecting broke recently because of the recent changes to their login flow. But it's an option.

For bookmarks I've moved to using Raindrop as a platform-agnostic solution.
