Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it's the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it's actively fighting Google's monopoly on web browsing.

Firefox is based. Glad I switched over recently.

Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, and is absolutely better for privacy and security; way more based than Firefox, you should check it out m8 :)

Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.

  1. Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it's for security.
  2. Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
  3. ???????
  4. Profit... or people hopefully switch

/r/firefox is also still closed and opened up on https://fedia.io/m/firefox. So firefox people are cool in general. 🦊

It's crazy how low the firefox market share is. It’s like 3% worldwide.

For such a good browser too!

Such a baseless statement. Ad blockers actually improve performance by removing random junk videos, and images from running on the site.

I'm so glad to have switched to Firefox.

What a cunning plan!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (10 children)

You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.

Bahaha, what a scummy tactic. I suppose if you cast a wide net, you're bound to catch some fish though.

If you wanna keep using adblocks you should start moving away from Chrome/Chromium-based browsers as soon as possible!!

I mean, when an extension needs to block 300 ads...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

And some sites are trying to load them again, and again, and again, so the poor plugin has no choice than to go hard on resources.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I use Firefox because it doesn't steal my data OR lie to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And foxes are cool animals 🦊 Way cooler than whatever a chrome is.
