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.
If you want to put in a little effort: Youtube Revanced is the official Youtube app without ads

Reject Manifest V3, return to fox browser.
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.

FIREFOX MY BELOVED!!! I haven't touched chrome since summer of 2019, don't regret the switch one bit.
cause I'm already on firefox silly
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.
I'm pretty sure they accept donations
Good to know, I'll be sure to donate then
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.

I wuv firefox :3
Already using FireFox. It's nice that it comes preinstalled on most Linux distros too.
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.

Mobile addons say hello
Already there!
I've been using Firefox since the days of Windows XP, I ain't gonna stop now.
Jokes on those that went shiny and chromium, I never left Firefox.
Bless the gecko! Gecko is love, gecko is lyfe.
I mean I use Firefox, but why is it a better alternative? (I think I started using it cause it doesn't stop screen sharing on discord)
Mainly because it's not a Chromium based browser. Chrome is making it hard/impossible to use adblock, and if Firefox were to die for whatever reason, Google would basically monopolize the way we interact with the internet (which it has almost done already)
