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

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

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

[–] LittleTransPunk@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

God tier is Firefox nightly with uBlock origin and shinigami eyes (isn't installable on other mobile Firefox apps)

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

Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.

[–] meow_d@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i know this is a joke, but: firefox is still implementing manifest v3. the difference is that they're keeping WebRequest

[–] blahaj@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] KermitLeFrog@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I went to Firefox when Chrome made their position on adblock perfectly clear. Ublock Origin still works on FF babeeeee

alright now put on the ears and install Arch

[–] HoodieGyaru@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not to mention the Firefox app on Android allows add-ons so you can use Ublock Origin on it too.

Librewolf is great; ngl it feels like vanilla Firefox has gotten too comfortable pushing sponsored content as of late

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] radicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'm pretty sure they accept donations

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

Mobile addons say hello

[–] TenNinetythree@vlemmy.net 10 points 2 years ago

Already there!

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

I'm already on Firefox, I love it

[–] PelicanPersuader 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

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)

[–] SKUNK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 2 years ago

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)

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

[–] Devonian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] SoftestVoid 8 points 2 years ago

Firefox ♥️

[–] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Khorgor666@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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
