firefox rule

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.

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.
It's also part of why I don't use apps for things like YouTube: I don't have to deal with ads if I just access the site like normal via Firefox.
- If you want to put in a little effort: Youtube Revanced is the official Youtube app without ads
- Revanced my guy
God tier is Firefox nightly with uBlock origin and shinigami eyes (isn't installable on other mobile Firefox apps)
- You need to be able to see how long people have until they die?
  
  (What does "Shinigami Eyes" do?)

im losing it

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.

Already using FireFox. It's nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.

FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven't touched chrome since summer of 2019, don't regret the switch one bit.

I love my little purple unstable fox 😀

I wuv firefox :3

LibreWolf is the best browser

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.

Jokes on those that went shiny and chromium, I never left Firefox.

Bless the gecko! Gecko is love, gecko is lyfe.

Should I post this in opra gxs replies?

DO IT

I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic

cause I'm already on firefox silly

Firefox ♥️

I was using Firefox on my phone forever because it can block ads on mobile, and moved back to it from Chrome when it came out that Google was basically going to make ad blocking impossible in chromium itself eventually. I had been using Firefox for a long time even after Chrome came out but started using Chrome during a period where Firefox was much slower and was having a lot of issues for some reason.

I'm on Vivaldi AFTER Firefox. Am I a pos-furry?

Is Chromium
Vivaldi gang
- can't hear to the others over the sound of my lateral bars and easy tab tilling

hmmmmm i am not BRAVEEEEE enough for firefox though

I've been using Firefox since the days of Windows XP, I ain't gonna stop now.

Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop

I already moved from lion daddy browser to fox daddy browser.

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.

complaining here won't solve anything

I started using firefox right after I started using Lemmy.

Firefox stopped working on my pc so I switched to opera

Sounds like your PC might need a refresh. Apps don't usually break for no reason.
- Yeah, I know, but I really like how opera remembers tabs, so I might keep it anyway

what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3

Love me some Brave...I use Firefox when that has issues though.

Brave is chromium
- Breaking my heart. At least it can still view YouTube without ads for now. I'll branch out again.
fyi brave is owned by a homophobe and they profit from putting their ads on content creators' accounts without asking them first
- well fuck
- Feels like I can't support anything without finding out it's run by pure evil- or that it's in the process of being ruined.
  
  Fail again

Ok but Firefox is kinda bad compared to Edge, functionality wise. It beats it in privacy hands down though.

What features is Firefox possibly missing?
- yeah, i don't want my browser to be bloated. . . by somebody.
  
  I want it to be bloated by me with 2 dozens of my extensions. hahaha
if your talking about bing A.I. chat, you can just change your browser agent thru extension in order to use it in firefox.
The only thing I use Edge for is work because we do a lot of stuff through Azure so it makes some things easier.

But never on my own computers.

I mean I use Firefox, but why is it a better alternative? (I think I started using it cause it doesn't stop screen sharing on discord)

Mainly because it's not a Chromium based browser. Chrome is making it hard/impossible to use adblock, and if Firefox were to die for whatever reason, Google would basically monopolize the way we interact with the internet (which it has almost done already)
uBlock Origin (the good ad blocker) works best on Firefox because Google made it impossible for it to work as well on Chrome, and all browsers based on Chrome inherit that flaw. uBlock Origin is better because the developers don't have an "acceptable ads" program where they let some ads through, like Adblock Plus does.

Also, the developers of Adblock Plus let websites buy their way into the Acceptable Ads program.
