firefox rule

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
God tier is Firefox nightly with uBlock origin and shinigami eyes (isn't installable on other mobile Firefox apps)

im losing it
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.
IIRC they said that they will keep MV2 until they are able to make the extensions work without MV2
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'm pretty sure they accept donations
Good to know, I'll be sure to donate then
don't donate. they don't go to the browser
buy the VPN if you can. or pocket premium if such thing exists. those go to the browser
That money's going to Mozila tho (or the Mozilla foundation or something, I never get the exact details right without looking up).
Anyway, the point is it will not be used to fund Firefox development if that is where you intend it to go. Can't, for legal reasons or other bs.
Probably no harm in donating whatsover, they do other great stuff aswell, just YSK.
as far ar I know:
the corporation builds the browser
the foundation does activism (and owns the corporation)
MZLA only exists because thunderbird needed some legal entity after Mozilla handed it over to the community
Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop
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
Should I post this in opra gxs replies?
LibreWolf is the best browser
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
FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven't touched chrome since summer of 2019, don't regret the switch one bit.
I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
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
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.
Love me some Brave...I use Firefox when that has issues though.
Brave is chromium

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
Firefox remembers tabs as well, there are many days where ill start Firefox and ill be looking at the same tabs I'm looking at when i last closed it, and if not there's always the "restore previous session" option in the history menu.
- It's an option in the settings for remembering previously opened windows and tabs.
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)
