Firefox Android's FIFA ads
(thelemmy.club)
This is the third avenue of FIFA World Cup advertising I've had to block in Firefox for Android (two different home page ads and now this notification), and my patience is starting to run thin.
Are there good mobile browser alternatives that support the same extension Firefox does (in my case, uBlock, SponsorBlock and Video Background Play Fix)?
Also, and I imagine the answer to this is "no", do those alternatives support the sync features of Firefox? I actually use and quite like those.
Mozilla: "Firefox is losing millions of users"
Also Mozilla: "let's alienate our most loyal users with World Cup ads in Firefox!"
FFS guys.
I'm not sure how Firefox can know the difference between a loyal and casual user, but if such thing even exist it doesn't matter to Mozilla.
Let's be real, how many % of the browser market is owned Firefox? 3%? Loyal users would be like 0.5% or even less.
They care about money (and is fine, they need it to maintain the project) and attracting new casual users, and this is the kind of thing that do both: Not sure if FIFA sponsored Mozilla but looks like, and casual people will open Firefox just to see the World Cup results
And even so, you can just turn it off, I guess
And Ai, don’t forget the ai. Really sad directions being taken by literally the only chrome alternative browser.
