    Between Manifest V3 and the Play Integrity API, Google is really trying hard to kill the open internet and android.

    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.

          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.

    I feel like I have seen this news since forever, I am happily living my life with Firefox… Although the android mobile really needs some love.

      Oh man. Once Firefox on Android got extension support, I hopped on that train so hard. No ads on mobile browser? Heck yeah.

        It has extensions support for like 6 years at this point. Unless you got some extreme obscure extensions

          ps. Brave has also built-in P2P and TOR features among other features

          actually an interesting browser

            Be careful with the Tor features, they allow you to open some onion sites but don’t supply the extra anonymity/security of the actual Tor browser.

      Unfortunately I’m stuck with Chrome at work so having something like Ublock Lite available is somewhat helpful. I just hope it still blocks youtube ads because they’re the worst.

      Just like how Micro$oft Windows is advertsiting Linux, Google Chrome advertsites Firefox!
