Hardened Firefox, here I come.

It blows my mind that there are major companies that are actively, and very publicly- working their asses off to undermine the interests of their own customer base. And not only are they still are enabled to exist- they’re profits are constantly growing. Which means, despite their nefarious and intrusive updates to their services…. People are eating it up!

Nothing will change until people do the work to make that change.

Take YouTube for example:

They have screwed people over time and again. From their content creators, to those that enjoy watching them. Yet- those that hate it so much would seemingly never organize themselves to boycott their services on a level that will ever hurt them.

So they continue to do it unstopped.

Nothing changes until something changes. It isn’t ever easy, but if you want it to happen badly enough, it is always worth it.

All it takes is for someone to stand up and take the reins!

(I cannot be that person as I have ADHD and will probably forget that I wrote this come later this afternoon)

I might try uBlock Origin Lite, then if it doesn't work very well then maybe I'll just use Firefox

I guess Google are betting that only a small segment of power users will switch to Firefox, while the mass of ordinary people won't be bothered enough to switch.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I've had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

Is duckduckgo chromium based?

I don't use it, just curious.

It kills the full version of uBlock but there is a lite version that has fewer functions as well.

It's time to fork chromium!

I think Brave said they arent affected by this

Doesn't Vivaldi have built-in blockers?
