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
LibreTube is great as well
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?)
Shinigami Eyes is a browser extension for Firefox and chrome that will change the link color of different sites and online profiles depending on whether they are trans friendly or anti-trans. It’s community driven on the info it uses and saves time of researching an individual, company, or site to figure out if they are dangerous to us or not.
Wait, it colors the names of users too? That is pretty cool.
Thanks, I already used Firefox Nightly with Ublock Origin but imma also add Shinigami Eyes

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
Removed by mod
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.
For what its worth it still works on Chrome/Edge currently.
The moment it stops I switch.
alright now put on the ears and install Arch
Already have, and my Lemmy instance is iusearchlinux.fyi
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)
FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven’t touched chrome since summer of 2019, don’t regret the switch one bit.
cause I’m already on firefox silly
I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
I vibe with Firefox Nightly. It’s unstable, but I’ve only had a build completely stop functioning once.
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
what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3
Already using FireFox. It’s nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.
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
I wuv firefox :3
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.

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