Hilariously? I feel like over half the current FF users are using it for the same reason as you.
Fuck Google
Yeah, I only made the switch 3 months ago for this reason. I don't see how it is hilarious either.
Why is this "hilariously"? Isn't that like...the whole point?
@totallynotarobot Google's point w/ the adblocking changes was to drive everyone back to Firefox? Away from the browser they've spent billions on?
No, they know nobody but the tech savvy people care. I just saw someone watch a YouTube ad on their phone in real life
I know it's close to Halloween but please use a spoiler tag or a trigger warning if you're going to tell us such a terrifying story
I'm tech savvy and even I find installing YouTube Adblockers on phone too much if a hassle to be arsed to do it.
It's a simple truth that the mobile experience is trash, while the PC experience is pretty decent and easy
You just install Firefox and get ublock origin on it. There's no step 3
Greedy Google billionaires think going to war against the people of earth is a good idea. I welcome this fight :)
Most of the people are dumb asf tho ;(
Just means we're on equal footing with google. Let the chaos commence!
Does anyone know when the Manifest V3 transition is actually going to happen in Chrom* browsers? It seems like they've been trying to get this to land for 4-5 years at this point and the only thing I can find are timelines that have been invalidated.
Every time they get close to a release some minor ruling in an European country shows that they won’t be legal and they have to start over from scratch /s
The public still uses Chrome so it worked... :/
