    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.

      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.

        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.

      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

    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

      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

    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]

    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.
