Still find it crazy when one company decides the internet's fate and seems to act like they own the internet, simply because they have a huge ass market for the browser, search engine & site crawler.

I don't see how getting rid of ad blocking would help Google. The people that know tech enough to always install Adblock first thing when installing a browser will just jump to the next browser.

And the people that don't know tech enough to do that wouldn't have used Adblock either way.

They're losing out on a much larger userbase (People that know tech) in the hopes of keeping the subset of that userbase that knows their way around tech but doesn't care if adblock is installed or not and making them 'pay' by watching ads.

That would at least be my opinion if that's what's actually happening, because I personally didn't gaf about these news until now and I only read the text from the meme. And quite honestly, I'll continue not giving af in the future.

Just made the switch for my personal computers. All the extensions that I used are there except a few for work.

The moment Firefox gets native vertical tabs with drag and drop grouping, I'm making the switch. But, as it stands, the vertical tabs in Edge are irreplaceable and not a single of the "workarounds" to make them possible in Firefox feel good at all.

I need drag and drop tab grouping and vertical tabs. That's it.

Edge also just introduced workspaces which feels like something I'm going to love once I get the time to mess with them.

I want to leave Edge because I want to be done with Chromium in general, but Firefox feels too behind the times for me.

I just made the switch days ago, couldn't be happier. Google can suck it.

Even without the web integrity api , the tests for amazon hiring process at least in india require you to run windows/mac and chrome, linux and firefox are not supported !

I recommend a DNS-based ad blocker like NextDNS. Works on everything, everywhere!

Christ how many times is this going to get reposted?

And then there's me over here in the corner using Opera....

Vote with your feet, move away of those cooperations....

Yep, moved from Edge to Firefox on all but my Windows Tablet. Only reason I'm holding out on the tablet is because the battery enhancements of Edge are too much to pass up on the device. Phone and PC though, straight to Firefox.

Already on firefox on pc and mobile

I've just recently switched because Chrome yet again stuffed up all my task bar shortcuts (whatsapp, keep, calenders etc) so they all just loaded as tabs.

Firefox doesn't even have the ability to create task bar icons so for a long time I never bothered with it.

Found this extension which mostly gives that functionality. Not perfect as I have to share the URL links to the main instance to view them in a separate tab, but it's ok. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

Anything but these two...

To the fans of Firefox: It has almost as much telemetry and spying as Chrome. Rather use hardened Firefox or Librewolf.

Brave and chromium are still safe right ?

Be pretty cool if something like thos wasn't 1/5 posts.
