I hear the ungoogled chromium is immune to the youtube antiadblock bs while getting rid of google's influence, leaving you to be able to keep your Firefox identity safe without compromising your privacy by going to a browser you know is maintained by a community instead of another corporation
For me personally, even when it's to my detriment, I intentionally go out of my way to use Firefox because other than Safari, it's the last major independent browser engine and I want to be at least one user of it, if it helps keep it relevant. That being said, I feel that Firefox might become more relevant and arguably already has because of crap like this.
Fair enough, I mentioned ungoogled chrome because websites are lenient to it, and I use it for those sites that are being a pain in my ass. Also, I use the ungoogle chromium to separate my Firefox fingerprint from those privacy invading sites. It's a strange quirk of mine, but I'm hoping it pays off to prevent them from identifying my browsing habits.
Yeah that's totally fair enough and I can totally see that.
