Well, dann machen wir wohl mal die lange aufgeschobene Migration zu #firefox. Sicher, Pest oder Cholera, aber immerhin mit Adblocker.

Of course @mozilla blocked a well reviewed plugin that makes it easier to identify sites and accounts that support Israel's genocide.

The plugin uses public information to inform the user, not block or police.

It emerged from someone's need to avoid companies complicit in genocide when job hunting.

OK #TechForPalestine has got a neat addon that warns you if you follow a link to an Israeli owned or affiliated site.

But it doesn't work on #Firefox because:

"Somebody reported it for “spreading hate”, despite the fact that the plugin simply provides information. It doesn’t ban you from visiting a website, making a purchase, applying to a job, or any other action whatsoever."

This is the problem with all good tech. Fucking corporate shitheads getting in the way.

How do we bypass the corporate shitheads?

Why I removed #firefox as my default browser.

Alright I now regret using #Firefox. Not because #Mozilla did shoot with the source code. Because its blocker doesn't protect my #privacy. I also regret reading about ADHD on my Android phone on #Chrome or even having a normal #Android phone.

Last week I read about ADHD on the web using Android's stock Chrome, now Google ads is showing me advertisements about ADHD. Down with you Google.

If anyone cares about their privacy, they should avoid #Google like #plague It's a pity still people use the services it offers including the search engine.

The #Web has become a bad and creepy place. For now I'm switching to #LibreWolf.

Edit: Curid from Rust offtopic Matrix room suggested this:

For Firefox it says partial protection is provided and they can fingerprint my broswer.

Sou utilizador #firefox, fico curioso com o #vivaldi por ser europeu mas chateia-me um bocado ser à base de #Chromium. Alguém tem alguma opinião sobre o Vivaldi?

life hack for kde and firefox (librewolf) users:

set "widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker" to "1" to use dolphin as your file picker if its not being used by default yet.

diantre ! l'extension downloadhelper ne fonctionne plus sur youtube ?

Go try my #foss #addon available for #firefox (and sideloadable as an #extension on any other #browser ) that allows you to #download almost any #stream , #audio or #video on websites! Any feedback is apreciated both good and bad!

Thanks for trying!

I tried Vivaldi on mobile, and within a few minutes I deleted Firefox and won't look back anymore.

But it's not about whatever recent issues others have with Firefox; frankly none of it are directly impeding my usage, so I just shrug it off.

It all came down to Vivaldi using up less memory than Firefox. It's what made me look for a new browser anyway.

And just with that I'm already satisfied with the new browser. All other features are just a nice bonus.

El jodido #Firefox sigue sin coger la configuración "proxy" del sistema en #flatpak pues #Mozilla tiene esto desatendido. Detalles, pero toca la moral.

TIL this about #Firefox in private browsing mode:

> If the PDF is opened rather than saved, the downloaded file is considered temporary and will be deleted at the end of the private session. You need to manually save the PDF for it to be preserved. [1]

Well-intentioned, but rather counter-intuitive since it shows the file as both downloaded and stored in a specific location. Seems like at minimum the PDF viewer should display a warning banner.

I would really like to give Firefox for iOS a chance but without Content / Adblocker, it seems more or less like a big downgrade?

It feels weird, that they ignore such a big feature?
