Alternate headline: Firefox is now the only browser worth using.
And in any case, lumping Firefox as one browser is disingenuous. There are numerous Firefox forks, just like every other major browser is in fact a Google Chromium fork.
I.e. it is the last usable browser.
Didn't that happen like a year ago?
Some other Chrome based browser probably updated...
I think the idea is to stop people from browsing and make them rely on ai
I tried browsing the internet without uBlock Origin. I hated it in 5 minutes. I'm not going back to there anytime again. If your browser does not support uBlock Origin, then I am not using it.
All the other major browser has blocked it.
Well, almost all others are basically Chrome.
That's the joke lol
unlock origin lite still works great for me
That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox. Together with uBlock capitulating against Facebook and all those age registration nonsense, I really am scared about the future of the web.
When I did a site that didn't play nice with one of my various Mozilla Gecko/Fusion browser flavors, I try a different one.
When they all are failing, not just WaterFox, I either fire up DuckDuckGo Browser or Safari if on a Mac.
If that were to fail I probably would quit using that service.
My actual Google account isn't allowed on most of my computers anymore, since I DeGoogled, and only have it operating in very sandboxed environments like one Vivaldi browser that lives inside of a VM.
I jumped to i2p for this reason. I think internet is dead, we will have to have a double identity to avoid brainrotting
That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox.
A lot of websites that really should be testing for this don't work on Firefox.
Absolute worst case Firefox can focus on feature parity(as it already has a lot of), and lie on the UserAgent
and reddit is aggressively try to force thier login popup at everytime, it hasnt rolled out completely. but people already reported.
In unrelated news, Firefox is now the dominant browser and nobody knows why.
If only that were true. To many people are addicted to google to ever give up chrome/chromium without a series of catastrophic fuckups from google.
Doesn't help that Mozilla leadership is incompetent and doesn't know what their core audience wants
also dependant on GOOGLe for revenue too.
Unfortunate how momentum like that works. I haven't managed to degoogle myself yet but switching to firefox has created zero issues in my daily usage
Well, it's better if it's a slow process, just like detoxing. Good luck by the way.
Dude, the last thing I use Google for is YouTube and the ads are so much now on my tv and when listening to stories in my car that I’m seriously considering either paying for nebula or just snorting whatever I find under the sink for amusement.
uBlock origin works on YouTube and works in Firefox for Android
Switched to edge after chrome notified that adblock and other manifest v2 extensions will be blocked. Edge did the same thing recently. Now switched to Firefox. Used to use Firefox way back in the day then left it due to Chrome but now Firefox feels like home. Surprisingly l, it's faster in some cases compared to Chrome. Not a single regret after switching. Adblock stays which is extremely important esp after youtube increased ads
Welcome back!
Firefox evolves too, and there's a lot of improvements both in the UI and under the hood. If you used Firefox before 2017, the difference should be especially prominent as they made a huge engine-level leap back then.
Yeah! Firefox after a certain time (pre 2017 as mentioned by u) felt slow and sluggish compared to chrome but now in some cases it's better than chrome
Of course they will, it's their main selling point.
So, I can finally point and laugh at the people who were saying that the manifest V3 thing was a non issue because their ad blocker was still working ?
no, because their ad blocker is still working
At a lower efficiency than before, and a lot of stuff now won't get blocked because of the limit in definitions.
I can't imagine using the web without firefox and ublock. Even the cookie consent popups are awful.
Pihole. Doesn’t solve everything, but I’m currently blocking ads from just over a half million domains.
Future is dark:
Android getting locked down
They are asking your government ID to use OS, access internet etc.
There must be real protest, revolution, something otherwise it will just get worst
pssst: it's gonna get worse
Download a shitload of epubs, roms, backup of wikipedia, and get ready for full-on, unmissable, 1984-style marketing and propaganda culture. You'll see it, you'll have to see it, and there will be no option B.
What if instead we... stop that from happening?
Like a true google hate inspired hipster I have been using Firefox for at least the past 9 years. Don't let one of the shittiest companies control even more of the world because you are too fucking lazy to switch to a different browser. If you have to deal with a few shitty websites made by morons that only work in chrome keep a secondary chromium install on standby when you have to hold your nose and use it.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
