Firefox mobile with uBlock origin is a fucking godsend, the mobile web is nigh unusable without it because of ads.

Whenever I'm watching someone else use a browser and I see how many ads there are, I realize how great UBlock is.

Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.
i know this is a joke, but: firefox is still implementing manifest v3. the difference is that they're keeping WebRequest
Yes, but they will keep supporting MV2 "for the foreseeable future", which means that all old extensions should keep working. It is going to be somewhat scary when they decide to remove MV2 support, but for now we are good.
IIRC they said that they will keep MV2 until they are able to make the extensions work without MV2
im losing it
Already using FireFox. It's nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.
Jokes on those that went shiny and chromium, I never left Firefox.
Bless the gecko! Gecko is love, gecko is lyfe.
Librewolf is great; ngl it feels like vanilla Firefox has gotten too comfortable pushing sponsored content as of late
Tbf Mozilla needs money to keep doing good work, and I don't mind "paying" for Firefox like that when the only alternatives are "paying" by letting Google track and sell my personal data.
That is true. But honestly, when it comes to software I'd just rather be left alone, it's why I moved from Windows in the first place.
I totally wouldn't mind donating to Mozilla in some other way though.
I'm pretty sure they accept donations
Good to know, I'll be sure to donate then
That money's going to Mozila tho (or the Mozilla foundation or something, I never get the exact details right without looking up).
Anyway, the point is it will not be used to fund Firefox development if that is where you intend it to go. Can't, for legal reasons or other bs.
Probably no harm in donating whatsover, they do other great stuff aswell, just YSK.
as far ar I know:
the corporation builds the browser
the foundation does activism (and owns the corporation)
MZLA only exists because thunderbird needed some legal entity after Mozilla handed it over to the community
don't donate. they don't go to the browser
buy the VPN if you can. or pocket premium if such thing exists. those go to the browser
I found Firefox WAY before i found Lemmy, no Chrome on my machines, UBlock Origin, Noscript, Facebook Container, Video Downloadhelper, Firefox lets one retake control
If you like Facebook containers, try the Firefox Container Tabs extension.
I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
I wuv firefox :3
I've been using Firefox since the days of Windows XP, I ain't gonna stop now.
autocorrect doesn't work on firefox in macs which drove me away, very annoying
but also lemmy only works in firefox [and definitely not safari, very bad]
I used to use Firefox but half the websites I visted were broken on it. Companies don't make their websites compatible with it anymore which really sucks. If Chrome kills adblocker, I'll switch back, but it's just annoying when you get to the middle of a transaction and the site stops working because the devs were too lazy to test on anything but Chrome.
What kinds of websites are you using? Been using Firefox my whole life, and the only instances I can remember of stuff not working on it are the web version of Microsoft Teams (Which works now), one proctoring site which required Opera, and some website where you could create music from samples that for some reason required Chrome.
