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.
im losing it
hmmmmm i am not BRAVEEEEE enough for firefox though
Love me some Brave…I use Firefox when that has issues though.
Brave is chromium
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
I love my little purple unstable fox 😀

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)
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.
alright now put on the ears and install Arch
Already have, and my Lemmy instance is iusearchlinux.fyi
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)
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.
https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads
https://restoreprivacy.com/report-ad-blockers-allowing-acceptable-ads/
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)
FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven’t touched chrome since summer of 2019, don’t regret the switch one bit.
I wuv firefox :3
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?
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.
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
Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop
what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3
I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic
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
