There should be global configs that are implemented automatically on all profiles with the option to override them at the profile level

This would be for anything config-related, especially extensions. It's so annoying to have to install the same extensions on every single profile or configure the same site settings for the same site on every profile. This is especially so for Tampermonkey and all my userscripts.

There should be a global config where I can set global browser configs and install extensions. If I don't want a particular extension on a particular profile, I can mark it as not installed for that profile. You would also be able to override specific global settings per profile without affecting any other settings.

The global configs wouldn't be physically copied to the profiles. The profiles would just read from a global instance. Making a config change in the global would automatically be read by all other profiles.

Where this would be useful:

  • Browser-level configs
  • Site-level configs
  • Extensions
  • Devtools snippets and overrides

Google is just unusable now. Can't even right-click a word in my browser to search Google for it. Sometimes, it just outright tells me to get rekt and try again later

The captchas are absolutely piss poor awful, a test of endurance as you run the gauntlet of up to TEN puzzles, waiting up to 5 seconds for the new replacement tiles to appear. I can't believe they expect people to use their already shitty service with these captchas. And I read that they're soon going to start forcing you to scan a QR code with your phone. I will NOT be doing that.

Facebook, along with Threads and Instagram, are shitting up image searches

I am so tired of searching for images on Google and coming across an image I might want, but then go to open it only for it to be some crusty-ass, low-res 200x300 image. Look at the source and it's ALWAYS Facebook, Instagram, or Threads. Go figure, all the same company. Go to the source page and there's a 50/50 chance it's locked behind a login wall. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Something needs to be done about this because it's getting progressively worse. Anymore now, image searches are dominated by these three platforms because Meta keeps buying/creating new social media and instituting the same stingy bandwidth policies on all of them. What I want is for Google to say, "If you want any of your images to show in our image search, every image we crawl must be accessible without a login AND it must be served to our crawlers at the highest resolution available to non-premium users of your platform."

Hopefully, I can rant about this here since it does heavily involve Facebook itself.
