Web Browser & Extensions

Firefox and Firefox based Floorp are great for daily drivers.

Iridium is chrome based, Brave is chrome based, Opera is chrome based.

Ultimately, I will switch browsers based on what task needs to be completed and pick the best one for the job.

Chrome based browsers + Firefox, just search your browser with the extension name
(Stop using Chrome based browsers given Manifestv3 soon^tm)
