Use librewolf . I use librewolf and Brave browser if needed .

but ublock as given up on facebook blocking in the future, and reddit's forced app/login is trying to bypass , will bypass ublock eventually

Helium browser supports it too..

I don't understand. It's still working for me on an up-to-date Brave.

unlock origin lite still works great for me

Just use dns block

If they ever stop supporting it I will continue to use the last version to support it, any website that breaks compatibility with this Firefox version can get fucked.

I can't imagine using the web without firefox and ublock. Even the cookie consent popups are awful.

The best extension :)

Google is locking down Android too!

Like a true google hate inspired hipster I have been using Firefox for at least the past 9 years. Don't let one of the shittiest companies control even more of the world because you are too fucking lazy to switch to a different browser. If you have to deal with a few shitty websites made by morons that only work in chrome keep a secondary chromium install on standby when you have to hold your nose and use it.

Being unable to use manifest v2 extensions anymore on most chromium based stuff has resulted in me writing off almost all browsers that are base on chromium. Kudos to Firefox for continuing to support it! Let's hope that does not change at all anytime soon.

Future is dark:

1. Android getting locked down

2. They are asking your government ID to use OS, access internet etc.

There must be real protest, revolution, something otherwise it will just get worst

So, I can finally point and laugh at the people who were saying that the manifest V3 thing was a non issue because their ad blocker was still working ?

In unrelated news, Firefox is now the dominant browser and nobody knows why.

You would think Apple would take the massive opportunity and bake in proper privacy and ad blocking to safari. Wouldn’t hurt their bottom line.

That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox. Together with uBlock capitulating against Facebook and all those age registration nonsense, I really am scared about the future of the web.

Pihole. Doesn’t solve everything, but I’m currently blocking ads from just over a half million domains.

Instead of uBlock Origin rather use AdNauseam. It's basically uBlock Origin, but it "clicks" on the blocked ads so the ad networks still have to pay website owners.
