do you not use an adblocker?

can't imagine anyone not using one in 2024

Firefox + uBlock Origin (by Raymond Hill) is a must-have.. NOTHING ELSE !!

what you do is, withdraw from select areas of the economy, protest toxic markets like ads and their adblocker counterpart business schemes. eventually corporations will have to change paths

I've been using it for forever. One time I was at a friend's place which I had not visited before and he didn't have adblock on his PC. And I'm like: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this how people actually use the internet??? How in the actual ♥♥♥♥ can people even stand that for more than half a second???

Why Firefox? I used to use it long ago but I think it became slow at JS? Used Opera for a while and finally switched to Chrome. I had some minor annoyances with it so I am actually using Brave now, but that's still Chrome I guess.

There are a few websites I like enough to whitelist.

Cookie Autodelete and Privacy Badger are useful. If NoScript or Ublock Origin's big brother, uMatrix is too much work.

Mozilla and their products do use a very different engine than all these Google-infested browsers, forced-ads crap and stealing and gathering your privacy data!

You can even use Firefox and its Developer Edition + uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill on your Smartphone devices... for ever ads-free !!

No need to use any bloated, influenced and forced "Apps".. a reason why you should also leave Apple BS ..



Google Chrome[en.wikipedia.org] and Opera[en.wikipedia.org], so other browsers from this "family" for example Edge[en.wikipedia.org] do use the "Blink[en.wikipedia.org]"-Engine, which forces ads on your machines and devices and steal your informations..

The iOS editions of mentioned browsers as well as Safari[en.wikipedia.org] do use the "WebKit[en.wikipedia.org]"-Engine which does the same, stealing info and forcing ads and apps.. especially their "Apps"..

Steam uses the CEF[en.wikipedia.org] (Chromium Embedded Framework), it is never "safe" to use Steam's integrated "Browser" .. you are completely out of control there ..

Firefox[en.wikipedia.org] uses the "Quantum[en.wikipedia.org]"-Engine, made for privacy and security .. a reason why the "TOR"-Browser is built as a Firefox-Fork..

I have used Mozilla Firefox for minimum 2 decades, only Firefox, and switched over to Firefox Developer Edition a couple of years ago, for even more performance, speed and possibilities.. for privacy & security and other features and editings..

"Firefox + uBlock Origin" is a must-have on your PCs, Laptops and Smartphones .. !!

!! NOTHING ELSE !!

So never use an app like the YouTube App.. use Firefox.. never be logged in to Youtube or any Alphabet/Meta accounts, and reconsider to use any KDE software as WebKit was a KDE-fork..

[Enigmatic]

I don't really use, or I'd have to install them everytime I open the browser.

Why Firefox? I used to use it long ago but I think it became slow at JS? Used Opera for a while and finally switched to Chrome. I had some minor annoyances with it so I am actually using Brave now, but that's still Chrome I guess.

Three reasons.

Firstly, Firefox is the default web browser on most GNU/Linux distros, and up until the past few years you needed to add an aditional repo on most distros to get standard Google Chrome (although Chromium was included in most distros FOSS repos). Nowadays its easier for distros that have flathub enabled out of the gate. The convenience factor of Firefox being preinstalled is what compelled me to switch to it around 2011.

Secondly, Chrome really never had any features I actually needed, while being proprietary software that sends incredibly high amounts of telemetry data to Google. Since I don't really use very many google services, there's no real point to their integration for me.

Thirdly, the speed difference between Chrome and Firefox has always been barely perceptible to not at all perceptible to me. I'm not going to give up my freedom for a 1-5% increase in performance.

Right now, I am using Floorp, a fork of Firefox that is otherwise very similar to Firefox in many ways.

[N3tRunn3r]

I HIGHLY recommend Firefox Developer Edition:
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/developer/

+ uBlock Origin (by Raymond Hill):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

!! NOTHING ELSE !!

Eep you're the font guy. That's almost as bad as ads. Ok not really but I don't want to read that, it's too chaotic.

Wish there was one for YouTube app on mobile, too.

[Ice Robertson]

No, I don't use any type of blocker.

They eventually find a way to advertise to you somehow even if it's not coming from a web page.

Use NewPipe instead. You don't get all of the features but it is open-source and ad-free. And you do get some features which you would need YouTube Premium for, like background playback.
