Time to switch to uBlock Lite or another ad blocker.

    Stopped using that garbage browser a couple of weeks ago. Hardened Firefox ftw. Just using stock Firefox isn’t enough if you’re concerned about your privacy on the internet btw. If all you’re looking for is an ad free experience tho, then stock Firefox should be enough.

      Firefox’s future isn’t looking good with all that layoffs and lost money. I am very scared that it might go the way of Opera, and then we will trully have nothing left.

        There’s a crucial difference:

        Firefox is open source, Opera isn’t.

          Those are made on Firefox engine. That is made and maintained by the company Mozilla. Which is experiencing those problems.
          It’s like those people who say that they don’t use chrome because it’s shit and breaks privacy, they use edge and brave.

            Firefox is a fully open source browser. Whether or not it fails and goes down doesn’t really matter, as its source code is out there for anyone to use, and build a browser off of it.

              It kinda does matter. It’s an enormously complicated project, and it’s possible that nobody will be able to be an ultimate fork if needed.

      LibreWolf is great btw, if you’re to lazy to manually harden Firefox. It also comes with uBlock Origin pre-installed. Also check out their community: [email protected]
