My favorite part of Firefox is Ublock Origin.
Mine is the tail plug, but UO is a strong second.
Does the plug get sent to you automatically or do you have to register somewhere?
I was browsing for plug-ins and extensions and after I installed a bunch, it just appeared.
Which is unavailable on Chrome?..
Google is in the process of undermining the effectiveness of uBlock Origin and other adblockers on Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I believe that change comes into effect this year.
But even before those changes were announced, uBlock Origin’s creator and main dev has stated that uBO is most capable on Firefox.
do you have time to hear about our lord and savior Firefox with Ublock Origin?

Noscript. Fuck your website and all your fancy functionality.
I want to see static on my screen when I visit.

isnt that the one that clicks on ALL the ads so they have a harder time profiling you?
the scriptures allow for this one on sundays, but dont tell the orthodox traditionalists.
people don’t complain to get solutions, they complain so everyone knows how miserable they are
I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.
I was at a party a few weeks ago and when we needed to use a web browser, one of the first things that happened was one of the attendees taking the computer to install FireFox.
Good
Heathens get one chance to repent
They should, might be in a better mood then…
Best thing about Firefox is stability somehow it works nearly all devices
So for some reason Firefox doesn’t work most of the time on my parent’s ISP. It simply doesn’t find sites 80% of the time. I can take the same wifi adapter and move it to my place and it works fine. I’ve messed arounfld with different DNS and stuff, and I just can’t get it to be reliable there.
It’s super annoying.
It sounds like an issue with DNS-over-HTTPS. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https Changing the DNS in the network settings of the operating system would not fix that.
they’re right tho
Yeah. Use Firefox or kiss a free Internet goodbye.
I worry even Firefox is losing its principles on the matter.
Then use a firefox fork that’s more in line with your beliefs. It’s a pro of open source
chromium is open source too.
Google still has control over Chromium. Manifest v3 is a Chromium thing, not a Chrome thing. All forks of Chromium will get it and none of the browsers using Chromium as a base has moved to fork and maintain their own version of Chromium.
This means that Google effectively has a monopoly over all browsers that aren’t WebKit or Gecko based, which is a tiny portion of all browsers. Leading to Google deciding how people access the internet. It’s already worrying that Google is the internet for a lot of people, the fact that they can do more or less anything with Chromium means that they can do whatever they want with the web standard.
That should be a major concern for everyone. Chromium needs to be taken away from Google.
all browsers that aren’t WebKit or Gecko
I don’t get this part. Are all engines other than those 2, based on Chromium?
Perhaps you are forgetting Ze great Konqueror ?
Because it has always been KHTML.
There’s a meme for that. Check it out
I think Konquerer is no longer actively maintained.
Fun fact (which you may already know) the two most popular browser engines today are based on KHTML)
But Chrome, the actual application you download (as well as several forks), is closed source.
Agreed. I just wanted to point out that you can have open source with a chromium based browser
But that’s not the real issue. The issue is that any Chromium-based browser – open source or not – helps Google maintain hegemony over web standards. Even if makers of other Chromium-based browsers try to maintain a fork of the rendering engine, they’ll be perpetually playing catch-up removing user-hostile misfeatures because Google controls the upstream branch.
Damn… is this why I feel so empty inside? I’m using Firefox but no tail plug or furry action?
I mean if all you need is a cork to stop feeling empty
Yeah tailplugs are awesome
I put in a tailplug and put on fox ears every time I use Firefox.
“I’m so used to getting fucked by Chrome and Edge that I just feel like something’s missing if I don’t.”
Ngl, I’ve never had issues with either for ram. my experience with Firefox is mostly the sameas chrome with ram usage. The main reason Im on Firefox is cause it’s been a whole lot more stable for me than chrome.
Also, adblockers still work.
Firefox uses lots of RAM
And not very efficiently either, can’t seem to handle 99+ tabs and starts getting unstable as you get closer to that number.
Chrome at least can handle 300-600 tabs across 30 windows (The most I’ve ever pushed it) without breaking a sweat
Are you the guy that posted on the Microsoft forums about Edge crashing after 1600 open tabs?
Hell the fuck no, I only ever run a single tab in edge, the tab to download another browser
FUCK edge
That’s one more tab than you need, tho.
(Hint: use an OS that comes with Firefox – and a package manager, for that matter – by default.)
winget install --id Mozilla.Firefox
brave doesn’t eat ram like that, not unless you have a lot going on at once.
it’s chromium
also they have done some shady stuff in the past and the ceo is a homophobealso they have done some shady stuff in the past and the ceo is a hardcore homophobe
It’s a boy-who-cried-wolf situation. Too many false homophobia accusations have gone around for be to believe any of them anymore.
