We can only hope. But then again, we saw how people act when it comes to those changes. They will try it for a bit but then fall right back and accept the shit they wanted to flee from.

Nah, Firefox is actually a good browser. I’ve switched to Firefox ever since I heard about the upcoming changes and have never wanted to switch back.

i switched to a chromium browser for features that have since been added to firefox. if something serious were to happen, i will gladly switch back over.

Look up WEI API. Something serious is happening.

He means "if it actually happens/my shit stops working one day" he will switch.

We've been listening to this shit for like 2 years between Manifest V3 and this, I've never had a single difference in ads that entire time on Vivaldi.

It's got baked in features that run lighter than what Firefox would be with the equivalent extensions and plugins, if it stops working then I'll switch. Running Firefox isn't going to stop this from happening, if and when. Only massive user backlash after implementation will solve the issue, same as when Lemmy was created.

On one hand I agree but on the other I feel like ads are a lot more trouble than a new browser to most users so that part might actually work for us. The really sad thing is that all browsers want to support all majore websites and once something like Youtube requires web DRM we basically lost because everyone will add it! :/
