Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Mozilla Firefox?
Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won't be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you're on Windows anyway).
You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.
I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.
You mean Chromium Brave Edition?
Why you got beef with Mozi? They chill
Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.
Meanwhile: Uses Brave
Such an ignorant and bad faith statement I won't even bother to reply.
Brave is wrapped up in so much controversy it feels like you're trolling that you called it a real browser. You're trolling, right? Have fun with your brave sponsored ads and crypto bullshit. Also you're still being lead by Google, but I guess that's okay because it's in a pretty wrapper.
Lol, as if Mozilla weren't keep alive by Google's money (which mainly come from ads, as well). Pathetic and laughable at once. Use what you prefer and stop bothering me.
You jumped into this conversation, friend.
Google does keep Mozilla alive, but it wouldn't have to if it weren't a monopoly. Since it does monopolize the market, it has to keep Mozilla alive or face monopoly busting action. The money Google makes comes from ads, but not the money Mozilla makes.
Also, unlike you, my browser isn't directly controlled by Google's every whim.
You're being highly self delusional. But whatever. Enjoy FF, until it lasts.
💀, tell a privacy gatekeeper about you
Yet you did.
^ This statement is an outright admission that they're right.
They said in their reply.
Are you for real? Everything you said reads like a tech bro caricature
Yawn...
Tired of your own bullshit? It happens, I guess
says won't bother to reply
replies anyway
Would you care to explain to the class?
They donate a lot to political campaigns that have nothing to do with technology or anything relevant. I use and love Firefox, but this is definitely questionable

that article reads like if my 8 year old nephew read thru my tax return. But no matter how mozilla spend their money, Google are spending money their money on much more questionable and unethical things.
Lunduke 🤡
from you're latest reply i can see you think : security shouldn't exist™
I'd help you with trademarking that
edit: are you trying to get me to find everyone stupid on lemmy because you lead me to find kicksystem(at)lemmy.world i can certainly find a stupid person defending him too
Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.
If anything, they’re worse.
I could go on.
Don't forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.
And also don't forget Gab forked out Brave to create Dissenter.
So like very other ad company.

If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.
