#use firefox

[teabree-shark]

in b4 95% of all websites in june 2024 announce that "for security" they will only work with browsers that use manifest v3

E: "Oooh I'm just gonna use Vivaldi." "I'm just gonna use Brave 😏"

You damn poor pitiful fools! Vivaldi is chromium! Brave is chromium! Edge is chromium! Opera is chromium!

Blink, avast, falkon, Samsung, epic, yandex, and whatever basic "internet" browser your phone came with, all chromium!

Anything on iOS ever, now, is safari (including firefox, brave, vivaldi). If they're chromium, they're limited. If they're safari/webkit, they're limited by apple (y'all already had your extension apocalypse two years ago and now have to, like, install and use three local VPN servers in a trenchcoat that call themselves an ad blocker but still break the *shit* out of a ton of professional work).

If you used Firefox 3+ years ago and it was slow or whatever, there's been a complete rebuild and it rules and is mature and stable. Firefox Android allows extensions, including ublock origin! Marketing and business and research wings of big businesses *do* care about 2% of users, if it can even come back to that.

I wish there were other options, but there aren't, really.

This, legitimately, will shape the rest of your digital lifetimes, however long that is.

Wow i love the Firefox browser so much.

Everyone, fuck Google. Let's all switch to Firefox it's literally so user friendly and customizable AND they don't wanna know your literal home address for logging into another device.... no but seriously what the fuck Google...

In case you wanted a really simple illustration of how AI-generated results are poisoning the accuracy of search engines. (Also worth mentioning I didn't get this on DuckDuckGo, my default engine with Firefox. Not anywhere in the first page of results.)

Fucking hate how every post critical of Chrome is full of smooth-brains crowing "just use firefox!!!" No. I stopped using firefox because that browser would slow my computer to a CRAWL for no fucking reason. Unless they've actually put some effort into fixing that in the last couple of years, I'm not interested.

Okay so I've tried to switch to Firefox many times, but each time i download the launcher, go through the installation process, and then open the browser it just immediately closes again. I've tried to find the problem, but nothing I've done seems to be working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Using chrome sucks but my computer doesn't want to switch.

loving late stage web 2.0

tumblr - needs three bespoke extension and a theme installed via a fourth to be configured how i like

twitter - needs an extension to use the old theme to undo the dumbass rebrand

youtube - only able to watch videos without being logged in because i refuse to not use adblock

reddit - have been using the old reddit option for 6 years and i'm genuinely astonished they haven't arbitrarily gotten rid of it yet

instagram - i fucking refuse to log into it on my desktop cause facebook loves tracking shit (firefox has an addon that auto-contains it but still)

Having to use Chrome to get a website to play nice with accepting a payment/order is a spiritual equivalent of pretending to be straight at a family gathering.

guy who installs firefox and ublock origin on mobile

guy who installs an adblocker and forgets about it and lives in a beautiful world where online ads have become much less frequent
