• Chrome pushes forward with plans to limit ad blockers in the future

  It took me a bit of searching, but it's nice to know that there are desktop browsers that are not based on Chromium or Gecko, i.e. Webkit [1]. I would like to Otter Browser [2], next time I use my Windows machine.

• Is Opera GX using more memory than Edge?

  Opera GX is overloaded with features, which take more RAM. Use the regular Opera for more lightweight experience. Or Otter Browser for even less RAM. Source: about 2 years ago

• Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats

  There are already forks offering JPEG-XL support. Thorium (warning: sound is auto-played on page open, why is this a thing) is perhaps the most prominent example for Chromium. In Firefox rebuilds there's Waterfox Current and LibreWolf, and for the independently developed there's the browsers that build on top of the Unified XUL Platform (a hard fork of Mozilla) which are Pale Moon and Basilisk.

• Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats

  Don't use Chrome. Try something, anything, else. The Thorium browser is fantastic, fast, and does basically everything Chrome does. If you're a Firefox person, consider trying Mercury, Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk. There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.
