Long live Firefox.

I'm sorry. I've seen this so many times today and I can't stand it anymore.

I hate this article photo. What the fuck is that shit?? Gloveless fingers? Digit warmer? Turtlefinger sweater?

Laughs in Firefox

Chrome is the new Internet Explorer.

I use Firefox everywhere which means I have ads blocking everywhere, including and especially on Android. All my tabs are synced and are easily transferred between devices.

Firefox is a good option.

But I will raise people one more. Waterfox. Been using it for over a year now and enjoy it.

Well I will sound like an old bore but throughout the nearly 20 years Firefox is out I never looked at anything else. Seen the rise and fall of Internet Explorer seeing the rise and fall of chrome.

Even Firefox in its dreadfully slow era (2010-2016) it did not made me change. And let me be clear Firefox is far from perfect. But for my use cases (privacy and security balance over certain conveniences) I would not change for any commercially backed Browser.

Moral of the story. It's better to donate to Mozilla and enjoy the freedom of your browser than giving yourself in on the erratic behavior of the big tech companies.

The silver lining here is that you'd hope that more people will simply adopt Firefox. It's user share has been too low for too long given how great it is

Good thing I exclusively use Firefox.

Fortunately I at least have Firefox on Linux. But then when I need to use Windows for something… well look at that, also Firefox!

won't stop pihole

Switched to Firefox at work today. Looks like I still need Chrome to do the VPN handshake, but the more of us there are, the more pressure we have on IT!

It's weird that I've been on firefox for the vast majority of my life and I always had this perception that "everyone" was using it. Here in lemmy you hear about it all the time, my friends use it, I see it on my newsfeeds etc

But when you check the market share it around 2.8% while chrome is 65.1% https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

I say this a lot but get Firefox.

Now we gotta have websites developing for all web browsers instead of Google Chrome like it's Internet Explorer 2.0.

I've been way more than a decade (closer to two decades) uninterruptedly using Firefox. I've never used chrome as a my main browser, ever.

But still, I'll be naive if I didn't recognize that this kind of shit will affect me even if it's just indirectly.

Next year they'll surely will be forcing many webs only working in "manifest V3 compliant browsers". I'm sure of that.

firefox extensions are the best patches i have for enshittification

What does google expect users to do once they realize they get better extensions with firefox?

Imagine ad blockers not working on youtube only on chromium browsers, or tracking cookies/pixels/scripts not being blockable only on chromium browsers.

Can't wait for nothing to change 'cause 90% of chrome users don't use add-ons.

I can't remember a time when I didn't use Firefox. Actually back in highschool I used IE around 2002ish but only because I didn't know any better back then.
