I thought this had already been implemented. How many times have they already delayed it?
If you mean Manifest V3 (MV3) then yeah it’s been on the table for a while, they had to make additional APIs for other extension developers because of how restrictive it was to begin with. The question is how many APIs are they going to develop without inadvertently allowing more adblock extensions? It’s a tough problem for them it seems.
On mobile I’m using DDG as primary browser. Firefox as secondary.
On my personal machine it’s Firefox and Chromium.
For my job I use Thorium as main (switched coming from Brave), Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
Could do without Chrome any day.
On mobile I’m using DDG as primary browser.
Don’t get me wrong, DDG’s app is a massive step up in privacy, but it’s hardly a browser, it’s simply a WebView frontend. You’re pretty much still using Chrome.

Firefox is calling all of you.
We just added a “copy link without trackers” context menu option too ;)
Big cocks at Firefox doing the lord’s work once again
So that’s what people mean when they say Firefox works with BSD
Big Sexy Dicks, yes.
Well at this period of time one of the interns will have removed Firefox’s user agent from the whitelist most Google services by mistake again.
If so, I just hope antitrust lawsuits will be fast enough so that it doesn’t build up a bad reputation for Firefox …
Cool, you gonna help me swap over the more than 100 online accounts from various website that I set up with using my Google email account to a different email account? Because if I am switching to firefox I will also be getting rid of my google email account.
Only 100? That’s rookie numbers.
I’m confused are you mad at Firefox because you put all your eggs into one basket?
Single point of failure too… if someone for whatever magic reason got access to your account you’d be capital Fucked
thank you billy

Right in time for the year of Linux on the desktop!
Oh no! There are literally zero other options but to use Chrome!
This impacts all Chromium based browsers. Unless support is maintained separately by browser vendor, only other option is Firefox or any of its forks.
This is kind of a time for Mozilla to shine, but I worry they will mess up and maybe even follow later.
I know you are being sarcastic, but it’s not sarcasm at all, and therefore no laughing matter, when more and more websites drop support for none-chromium browsers, or actively block them. Netizens tend to have some missguided belief that every problem can be solved with software alone. This is a trap.
What about Brave their whole sales pitch is ad blocking?
Wish them a farewell
I wonder if there ever will be a point where the mayor populous actually goes “screw this” and starts finding out how to change their browser via “how to change internet” or “how to change google”
will there ever be a point where this even happens i wonder, like at all
That’s okay. Literally the only thing I use chrome for is gmail.
Try Thunderbird (desktop) and/or FairEmail (mobile).
Thanks, I probably should. I use Thunderbird already but only for my own/website email.
Even better, just add the gmail account to your list and done.
Chrome has some special method / offline client built-in to access Gmail? Do not know anyone who just does not use Gmail web client https://gmail.com
I’m only using Chrome for work because the profile switching & syncing is so much smoother and our company is split into two primary brands - my brain handles it better with an individual browser profile for each.
We’re consolidating everything into one next year, meaning I can ditch the second browser!
I’ve tried setting up a second profile but it was just too much effort to get it working and bring everything across from both, then do the same on my laptop for travel, so I’ll just wait for now.
Multi account containers. Check it out.
I really don’t understand why Mozilla doesn’t add a profile switch icon in Firefox.
Most people probably have no idea that Firefox can do profiles or some of the stuff it can do with them (sync online, send tabs between devices etc.)
Congratulations, you are being tailored a “personal experience”! Please do not resist.
what a bunch of cunts
I limited google chrome a long time ago when i switched back to firefox for good
I’d be very curious how they are going to try and fuck over Firefox, or similar browsers.
It’s not “just business “, it’s personal. It’s all personal, Mike. You know who I learned that from? Your Father, the Godfather.
The various websites will just say Firefox is “not supported”. I just wrote this in another comment, but Twitch doesn’t let you log in on FF because it has some kind of advanced tracking protection. I guess YouTube and the rest will just join the fuckery and block you from using their content if you’re on FF. I mean, I really hope they won’t do that, but knowing what degree of assholery these companies can pull off, I think it’s the next step.
I used to have that issue with Twitch and FF, the fix was to create a new Firefox profile :)
This is news to me. I log into twitch on FF all the time.
Same no problems here and I have those strict features enabled.
That’s weird. I’ll try the above trick the next time.
Presumably the FTC will have something to say about blatant anticompetitive actions such at these. Then again, that’s why corporations buy themselves representatives, senators and judges.
Edit: such not suck
Google’s proposed “Web Integrity API” browser-DRM was probably the biggest attack on the open web since its conception. I don’t think they have fully given up on that idea and they’ll likely sneak it in more gradually and slowly. Manifest v3 is just a small baby step in this direction of taking away user control.
Not surprising since Google is an ad company. I
Meanwhile I have been using Firefox on my various computers for a few years now.
