Nostalgic AF. Honestly, though, uBO (desktop and mobile) is the killer feature of FF over Chrome. Haven’t touched Chrome in years.
Several Chromium browsers have native adblocking built in at this point. No extensions required.
Which is great, for sure. But, additionally, I’m unwilling to go back to a single engine ecosystem, especially not one with Google’s hands on it. I still remember coding around IE6. 😅
Google funds Firefox so it has their hands on it anyway. And Mozilla has proven to be a poor steward of Firefox anyway. I’m just not so sure one is better than the other anymore.
Yes but Google doesn’t have any say over features Mozilla implements. However yes, Mozilla has been going in the wrong direction entirely without Google’s involvement for a while now. But it’s still better than supporting Google’s ecosystem.
I’ll readily admit FF has problems. But it’s most definitely MHO that Google is far, far more evil. It’s not clear why they fund FF other than the antitrust angle.
They don’t do it as well as ubo
I know helium is a chromium browser and maintains their own manifest v3 fork of Ublock, but it might be temporary.
They do. It works exactly the same.
It’s not impossible. mv3 pertains to extensions and, as I said, it’s not an extension, it’s built natively into the browser.
No, ublock origin actually has specialized features that in-browser adblockers don’t replicate.
Go on…?
Go on what?
Go on and…back up the thing you said with some facts somewhere?
I clicked on that link and was greeted with a 50% of my phone screen being theverge’s cookie banner.
We used to appreciate irony when it wasnt so on the nose all the time.
Turn on “annoyances cookie banners” in UBO
