Hilariously the thing that got me to go back to @firefox was Google making adblocking suck on chromium based browsers and trying to force their (repeatedly) spy-ware filled ads (particularly on youtube) to be displayed. Like you spent how many billions trying to make chrome "the thing" and now you are destroying any goodwill.

The public still uses Chrome so it worked… :/

Greedy Google billionaires think going to war against the people of earth is a good idea. I welcome this fight :)

Just means we’re on equal footing with google. Let the chaos commence!

totallynotarobot,

Why is this “hilariously”? Isn’t that like…the whole point?

@totallynotarobot Google's point w/ the adblocking changes was to drive everyone back to Firefox? Away from the browser they've spent billions on?

iopq,

No, they know nobody but the tech savvy people care. I just saw someone watch a YouTube ad on their phone in real life

I’m tech savvy and even I find installing YouTube Adblockers on phone too much if a hassle to be arsed to do it.

It’s a simple truth that the mobile experience is trash, while the PC experience is pretty decent and easy

iopq,

You just install Firefox and get ublock origin on it. There’s no step 3

    iopq,

    What are you talking about? You just go to the add-on page and click install

    Chewy7324,

    How is your experience with the gtk4 skin? I’ve used it for a bit around the time the switch to libadwaita happened, but for me the default firefox skin is better.

    Does anyone know when the Manifest V3 transition is actually going to happen in Chrom* browsers? It seems like they’ve been trying to get this to land for 4-5 years at this point and the only thing I can find are timelines that have been invalidated.

    webghost0101,

    Every time they get close to a release some minor ruling in an European country shows that they won’t be legal and they have to start over from scratch /s

    Hilariously? I feel like over half the current FF users are using it for the same reason as you.

    Fuck Google

    Yeah, I only made the switch 3 months ago for this reason. I don’t see how it is hilarious either.
