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
Firefox stopped working on my pc so I switched to opera
I love my little purple unstable fox 😀
I vibe with Firefox Nightly. It’s unstable, but I’ve only had a build completely stop functioning once.
Love me some Brave…I use Firefox when that has issues though.
fyi brave is owned by a homophobe and they profit from putting their ads on content creators’ accounts without asking them first
Feels like I can’t support anything without finding out it’s run by pure evil- or that it’s in the process of being ruined.
Fail again
Brave is chromium
Breaking my heart. At least it can still view YouTube without ads for now. I’ll branch out again.
I went to Firefox when Chrome made their position on adblock perfectly clear. Ublock Origin still works on FF babeeeee
alright now put on the ears and install Arch
Not to mention the Firefox app on Android allows add-ons so you can use Ublock Origin on it too.
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
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
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
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.

complaining here won’t solve anything
What kinds of websites are you using? Been using Firefox my whole life, and the only instances I can remember of stuff not working on it are the web version of Microsoft Teams (Which works now), one proctoring site which required Opera, and some website where you could create music from samples that for some reason required Chrome.
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)
