It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

Yeah…I’m gonna say you have something that isn’t playing well with Firefox. Extensions, hardware…. I’ve been using Firefox for years now across multiple OS’s and hardware and I’ve never had anything like this happen to me

I have privacy badger, ublock, dark reader, tab session manager, bitwarden, and grease monkey(that is used to tweak hacker News).

I guess I could try to turn off ublock and privacy badger to see if that fixes anything, but the other extensions seem way less invasive and less likely to be the culprit.

But browsing without ublock seems miserable.

Yeah, more often than not Ublock or others ad blocks are the culprit for me.

And it’s not immediately obvious that such is the case when it happens.

Good luck
