Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i know this is a joke, but: firefox is still implementing manifest v3. the difference is that they're keeping WebRequest

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

IIRC they said that they will keep MV2 until they are able to make the extensions work without MV2

Firefox mobile with uBlock origin is a fucking godsend, the mobile web is nigh unusable without it because of ads.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Whenever I'm watching someone else use a browser and I see how many ads there are, I realize how great UBlock is.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

Librewolf is great; ngl it feels like vanilla Firefox has gotten too comfortable pushing sponsored content as of late

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure they accept donations

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good to know, I'll be sure to donate then

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 found Firefox WAY before i found Lemmy, no Chrome on my machines, UBlock Origin, Noscript, Facebook Container, Video Downloadhelper, Firefox lets one retake control

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you like Facebook containers, try the Firefox Container Tabs extension.

im losing it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

complaining here won't solve anything

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.

Should I post this in opra gxs replies?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on Vivaldi AFTER Firefox. Am I a pos-furry?

can't hear to the others over the sound of my lateral bars and easy tab tilling

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

LibreWolf is the best browser

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven't touched chrome since summer of 2019, don't regret the switch one bit.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
