firefox rule

I went to Firefox when Chrome made their position on adblock perfectly clear. Ublock Origin still works on FF babeeeee

alright now put on the ears and install Arch

Not to mention the Firefox app on Android allows add-ons so you can use Ublock Origin on it too.
- Why is Firefox not on F-Droid? So weird how Fennec and Mull and some other forks are there, but not the OG.
alright now put on the ears and install Arch

Already have, and my Lemmy instance is iusearchlinux.fyi
ublock still works on chromium browsers, it's just that it's less feature rich
- It's the lite edition. So ye, Firefox for the win (and all it's cool forks)

Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.

i know this is a joke, but: firefox is still implementing manifest v3. the difference is that they're keeping WebRequest
- Yes, but they will keep supporting MV2 "for the foreseeable future", which means that all old extensions should keep working. It is going to be somewhat scary when they decide to remove MV2 support, but for now we are good.

Firefox mobile with uBlock origin is a fucking godsend, the mobile web is nigh unusable without it because of ads.

Whenever I'm watching someone else use a browser and I see how many ads there are, I realize how great UBlock is.
It's also part of why I don't use apps for things like YouTube: I don't have to deal with ads if I just access the site like normal via Firefox.
- If you want to put in a little effort: Youtube Revanced is the official Youtube app without ads
- Revanced my guy
Permanently Deleted
- You need to be able to see how long people have until they die?

I found Firefox WAY before i found Lemmy, no Chrome on my machines, UBlock Origin, Noscript, Facebook Container, Video Downloadhelper, Firefox lets one retake control

If you like Facebook containers, try the Firefox Container Tabs extension.

im losing it

Librewolf is great; ngl it feels like vanilla Firefox has gotten too comfortable pushing sponsored content as of late

Tbf Mozilla needs money to keep doing good work, and I don't mind "paying" for Firefox like that when the only alternatives are "paying" by letting Google track and sell my personal data.
- That is true. But honestly, when it comes to software I'd just rather be left alone, it's why I moved from Windows in the first place.
  
  I totally wouldn't mind donating to Mozilla in some other way though.

I used to use Firefox but half the websites I visted were broken on it. Companies don't make their websites compatible with it anymore which really sucks. If Chrome kills adblocker, I'll switch back, but it's just annoying when you get to the middle of a transaction and the site stops working because the devs were too lazy to test on anything but Chrome.

complaining here won't solve anything

Should I post this in opra gxs replies?

I love my little purple unstable fox 😀

I'm on Vivaldi AFTER Firefox. Am I a pos-furry?

Is Chromium
Vivaldi gang
- can't hear to the others over the sound of my lateral bars and easy tab tilling

LibreWolf is the best browser

I wuv firefox :3

I was using Firefox on my phone forever because it can block ads on mobile, and moved back to it from Chrome when it came out that Google was basically going to make ad blocking impossible in chromium itself eventually. I had been using Firefox for a long time even after Chrome came out but started using Chrome during a period where Firefox was much slower and was having a lot of issues for some reason.

hmmmmm i am not BRAVEEEEE enough for firefox though

FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven't touched chrome since summer of 2019, don't regret the switch one bit.

Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop

Ok but Firefox is kinda bad compared to Edge, functionality wise. It beats it in privacy hands down though.

What features is Firefox possibly missing?
The only thing I use Edge for is work because we do a lot of stuff through Azure so it makes some things easier.

But never on my own computers.

Firefox stopped working on my pc so I switched to opera

Sounds like your PC might need a refresh. Apps don't usually break for no reason.
- Yeah, I know, but I really like how opera remembers tabs, so I might keep it anyway

what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3

Love me some Brave...I use Firefox when that has issues though.

Brave is chromium
fyi brave is owned by a homophobe and they profit from putting their ads on content creators' accounts without asking them first
- Feels like I can't support anything without finding out it's run by pure evil- or that it's in the process of being ruined.
  
  Fail again
- well fuck

I mean I use Firefox, but why is it a better alternative? (I think I started using it cause it doesn't stop screen sharing on discord)

Mainly because it's not a Chromium based browser. Chrome is making it hard/impossible to use adblock, and if Firefox were to die for whatever reason, Google would basically monopolize the way we interact with the internet (which it has almost done already)
uBlock Origin (the good ad blocker) works best on Firefox because Google made it impossible for it to work as well on Chrome, and all browsers based on Chrome inherit that flaw. uBlock Origin is better because the developers don't have an "acceptable ads" program where they let some ads through, like Adblock Plus does.

Also, the developers of Adblock Plus let websites buy their way into the Acceptable Ads program.

I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic
