firefox + ublock origin
why are people allergic to firefox?
Because someone said 10 years ago that it was slow, which is since parroted by a ton of people that would not notice it in any real life scenario.
It feels clunky to me. However ads are so much more clunky that I’m gonna switch the second Vivaldi stops working properly.
The longer they put it off, the more unnoticed it will go when they finally do it.
Exactly, every time it’s close the roar against it gets quieter. They’re banking on that
Wait, it’s not supposed to do that.
Well that’s not very typical
Better tow it outside the environment
I don’t get it, the timeline has been known since 2021 and has not changed. We are in the middle of the phase-out. All of this is really predictable.

Actually, as someone whose company has been working on updating extensions from MV2 to MV3 for the past four years, the timeline has changed. A couple of times, I think. Originally, MV2 was supposed to be entirely deprecated by the beginning of this year, but they’ve pushed it back twice and extended enterprise support even further.
You are right, my bad, last change seems to be a year ago.
Didn’t uBlock origin just stop working with Chrome?
Still working for me
I don’t know, maybe
So, you post this after the one blocker that worked stops working, and then you didn’t notice?
DNS blocker + browser built-in adblocker (+ system-wide AdGuard). Be my guest.
Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox’s built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong
system-wide AdGuard
This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I’m using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn’t know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.
Firefox Mobile supports most desktop extensions now, so Ublock Origin works too
Extension != built-in and some people prefer to avoid FF.
Why would anyone avoid firefox?
Because I don’t like Mozilla and don’t want to give them market share. And, well, because it suck badly.
Any objective reasons?
LOL, why should I justify my choices to a stranger on the internet? I don’t like Mozilla. Full stop.
Avoiding FF while supporting Chromium based browsers is just the most nonsensical moronic shit I’ve ever heard in the whole browser debate.
Whatever. Keep donating to Mozilla and their dying, shitty browser and leave me alone. I didn’t want to start a debate.
Google will eat you up and spit you out and you will have no one to blame but yourself.
The same Google that keeps Mozilla alive? Mozilla’s shills are so boring and short-minded. Just leave me alone. Nobody asked your opinion.
Why actively avoid fire Fox?
Because I don’t like Mozilla and don’t want to give them market share. And, well, because it suck badly.
Why do you want Google to have hegemony over web standards?
Are you seriously implying that that 2% of FF market share is what avoids the “hegemony”? lol.
Mozilla has worked very hard to sabotage FF. I’ve been a loyal FF user since 2002 and finally showed them the finger in 2021, when they confirmed that they don’t respect their community. They are just another corp now. So, why should I use an inferior browser from them?
I won’t reply further. I didn’t want to start a debate and I’m quite pissed off of Mozilla advocates.
