Google has announced that it will move forward with Manifest V3 on Chrome, sounding the death knell for ad-blockers like uBlock Origin.

Vivaldi is my daily driver. It has the best tab-management, dark website-mode (hidden function), build-in tracker, pop-up & ad-blocker, RSS-Reader, e-mail client, site-hibernation and much more.

You forgot excessive RAM usage 🤮

Checked with htop:

Firefox - no tabs open, no extensions: 365MB

Chromium - no tabs open, no extensions: 358MB

qutebrowser - 1 tab open, no extensions: 400MB

Vivaldi - 3 tabs open and 70 tabs sleeping in 5 workspaces, built in ad- and track-blocker enabled + 2 extensions: 450MB

I can spare that 50MB from my more than enough mem for all the extra quality of life functions no other browser offers.
