People will *anything *except use FireFox
Firefox+uBO works fine. Brave shields works fine.
Zen has been pretty great so far
Good bye to Chrome it is then. I made the switch as soon as they started messing
I just got a notification today, that I can not continue using my banking app on my phone without first registering with the government.... dark days for privacy.
Which country?
Registering what with the government? Your app, phone #, account?
Ublock was already somewhat neutered on Chrome, and people didn’t seem to notice. They keep using it.
I’m just so cynical these days. It’s not like the Windows XP era, where people eventually get fed up with enshittification, and move.
Google won. Facebook won.
They have absolute control, basically.
In all sadness, folks on Lemi and other more technically inclined forums infight even more than leftists infight, and all they do is sabotage themselves.
Projects like Firefox are mountains above Chrome when it comes to privacy and not ceding web control over to Google. Yet any thread about anything Firefox is doing is just filled with FUD from people complaining about small individual changes or Firefox not being perfect enough, so on and so forth.
It's self-sabotage. If you didn't think Firefox is good enough, congratulations. Now you've got Chrome, and pretty soon you won't have Firefox.
😒
its been removed since like past 10 years, dont know why people is still using it. i moved to firefox immediately just to keep the ublock origins, and theres other extensions.

Firefox and its derivatives (and Safari - sorry Apple users) are the only browsers not using Google's Blink web engine these days - at least until Ladybird is released.
Despite the Mozilla Foundation's many stupid decisions, Firefox (and Safari) is starting to look like the only thing stopping Google from completely controlling the internet.
