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
For what its worth it still works on Chrome/Edge currently.
The moment it stops I switch.
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 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?)
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
Already using FireFox. It’s nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.
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.
Jokes on those that went shiny and chromium, I never left Firefox.
Bless the gecko! Gecko is love, gecko is lyfe.
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
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
I’ve been using Firefox since the days of Windows XP, I ain’t gonna stop now.
FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven’t touched chrome since summer of 2019, don’t regret the switch one bit.
I wuv firefox :3
I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic
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.
autocorrect doesn’t work on firefox in macs which drove me away, very annoying
but also lemmy only works in firefox [and definitely not safari, very bad]
what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3
