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

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

        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.

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

      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

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

    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.

              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.

                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

              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

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

    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.

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