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

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

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

Already using FireFox. It's nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.

Jokes on those that went shiny and chromium, I never left Firefox.

Bless the gecko! Gecko is love, gecko is lyfe.

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

[–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

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

Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.

[–] meow_d@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

I wuv firefox :3

[–] Gormadt@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

I've been using Firefox since the days of Windows XP, I ain't gonna stop now.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] radicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they accept donations

[–] radicalpersondude@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] GenericUsername@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] Ashhwaghandaa@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I switched to Firefox two years ago and never looked back :) Google chrome is transphobic

[–] dubstowel@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love my little purple unstable fox 😀

[–] FishfoxNuro@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I vibe with Firefox Nightly. It's unstable, but I've only had a build completely stop functioning once.

[–] Devonian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

what would I do without my cross-platform history, passwords, and addon syncing? Mozilla is a godsend <3

[–] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

LibreWolf is the best browser

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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]
