Not to mention the Firefox app on Android allows add-ons so you can use Ublock Origin on it too.
Firefox nightly and beta allows full fledged desktop extensions as well
Why is Firefox not on F-Droid? So weird how Fennec and Mull and some other forks are there, but not the OG.
ublock still works on chromium browsers, it’s just that it’s less feature rich
It’s the lite edition. So ye, Firefox for the win (and all it’s cool forks)
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.
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
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
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
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
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

You need to be able to see how long people have until they die?

I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3
I wuv firefox :3
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
Firefox remembers tabs as well, there are many days where ill start Firefox and ill be looking at the same tabs I’m looking at when i last closed it, and if not there’s always the “restore previous session” option in the history menu.
- It’s an option in the settings for remembering previously opened windows and tabs.
Thx, I’ll look into it
FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven’t touched chrome since summer of 2019, don’t regret the switch one bit.
Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop
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.
Already using FireFox. It’s nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.
hmmmmm i am not BRAVEEEEE enough for firefox though
