Firefox on IOS, Mac and Windows 11, we'll leave the light on for ya.

#Firefox

Why does anyone even use chrome when Firefox exists?

Firefox is better in every way.

Goodbye chrome. Hello Firefox.

And maybe in a few years: Goodbye Google apps. Hello FOSS apps

Firefox.

I’ve already deleted chrome from all my devices

Time to use Firefox

Come on over to Firefox people! It’s better than ever!

This won't affect my rasberry PI running pi-hole DNS server.

We're watching google becoming stale, losing the innovation edge and turning into an old person's tech company. It's going to end up like AT&T struggling to understand the world around it.

👏 switch 👏 to 👏 firefox 👏

Kernel access requirements incoming

Firefox gigachad

Firefox is there to keep all those ex-chrome users warm and fed.

Google is an evil company now. Just stop using chrome. YouTube is the last good thing, but it's only good because of the creators- the app itself is pretty terrible.

Good luck on that when people move to different browsers.

well, switch to mozilla at this point

Its almost like some kind of monopoly when the same company owns the browser that you use to search the internet to find a YouTube video to watch.

Can you imagine the outrage if the power company was able to tell your TV how loud your cable comercials should be?

I have revealed my next step in war on google, by ignoring it and switch to firefox

Looks like it's time to switch browsers...

I was entertaining setting up a PiHole, now I have no excuse

Honestly, they're going to easily win this war. Against the average dumbass who uses a computer. Against me, a hacker, god no. I will get around this very easily. But I'm under no illusions that the average computer user is a dumb fuck who will slurp down a steady stream of ads from their tech overlords as their brain melts.

Not only am I not clicking on your ads, they're being displayed into the void. So, in summary, eat shit google.

We're clearly hitting the stage where Google deems itself an untouchable giant who can do whatever they please. They wouldn't be the first giant falling over their hubris.

I know opera is chromium based will that also affect it

Why is youtube not public service at this point? Just like we have a national library that showcases media in print for free... we should get with the times and host videos for free as well.

A lot of educational information can be found on YouTube. Maybe we should take some of that and create a public video hosting service before youtube implodes.

Edit: Just for reference. The Library of Congress hosts every tweet that's ever been made. Anything you've ever said on twitter is stored on their servers. I think giving them the ability to host videos is not so far fetched.

Firefox or bust

using chrome is like walking around New York city with your social security # on your t-shirt.

Google collects all this shits. Don't let them play with your doodoo and build a genetic profile off it in some secret lab. So they can better infer your future browsing and purchasing habits in order to facilitate psychological-trojan horse ads that DiCaprio your gray matter.

They've become so integrated and powerful that Governments licking their lips rubbing hands together.

eh, given the pervasiveness of the search engine, they'll get away with this.

most people don't even know what a browser is, what browser they are using and that they can even use ad-blockers.

Firefox is one of the few non-chromium-based browsers left. Thank goodness they held out when everybody else jumped ship (looking at you, Opera). It’s time to give them a download.

The internet should be freedom, and Firefox knows it.

In other news, I give it 2 weeks until vivaldi and opera to have their own addon store.

I really hate this push to have ads everywhere. I havnt seen ads in long time.

I wonder how these big tech compaines that rely mostly on selling ads will do in the next 10-20 years.

Will this necessarily impact all chromium browsers?

Firefox. It has adblock on mobile and perfectly syncs with desktop

Glad Im using Firefox for basically as long as it exists. Always hated chrome, even switched to Firefox on my phone a few years ago.

this is legit dictatorship

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd we're back on firefox. Thanks for making it an easy decision, google.

I reveal my war on Google : firefox.

Laughs in Firefox

I don’t get why this is such a big deal. Creators need support. If you don’t want ads, either suck it up, or subscribe to premium. This benefits the creators, the most important people on the website.

About to switch to edge or FF. Just need a small push from chrome.

been a chrome fan since chrome came out. I liked FF but habit kept me on chrome.. until they announced the upcoming extension updates, combined with the youtube nonsense, and the fact that ublock works better with firefox than chrome.. they finally pushed me out. And im perfectly happy with firefox.

One of the things that bugs me a bit, google was the one who first started the entire, lets get rid of the annoying ads thing. The net was getting a bit nuts with noisy and moving ads and google came out and did the text ad thing. I tend to give them exceptions in my ad blockers because i only want to block that which annoys me. So instead of keeping me on their product while making exceptions for their ads, they pushed me to another product.

Why the fuck did so many seem to stop using Firefox in the damn first place???

Chrome has been like a cult for years now.

Everyone that used chrome for all this time gave them all this power. It's not as easy as just installing a different browser when almost all browsers are just chrome clones. Soon Google will be able to disable entire sites depending on your browser and you won't be able to to argue competition because opera and Microsoft are alternatives though just clones....

YAHFF

YouTube is a dystopian nightmare without adblock. Especially mobile versions. I had a 3/4 page dominos advert and the top quarter of my screen was the video. 2 unskippable adverts before my 3 minute video started. Then another advert inserted randomly into the middle of the video.

I genuinely don't know how anybody uses YouTube without adblock. Even paying for YouTube premium is a lesser experience than an adblock provides.

With just a little more effort - they can probably make it unusable.

Already switched to Firefox after being a 10 year user of Chrome.

Now if only Firefox had the same compatibility as Chrome. Half our websites don't look or work properly on Fox, and it's not down to bad implementation
