Not to mention the Firefox app on Android allows add-ons so you can use Ublock Origin on it too.
Why is Firefox not on F-Droid? So weird how Fennec and Mull and some other forks are there, but not the OG.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.
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
hmmmmm i am not BRAVEEEEE enough for firefox though
I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
im losing it
FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven’t touched chrome since summer of 2019, don’t regret the switch one bit.
Chrome on android sux firefox and ublock origin is the best but theres a couple extensions that keep me from switching on desktop
I wuv firefox :3
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.
I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic
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)
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
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
well fuck
