Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.

Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it's for security.
Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
???????
Profit... or people hopefully switch

/r/firefox is also still closed and opened up on https://fedia.io/m/firefox. So firefox people are cool in general. 🦊

Firefox for life

It's not just a Chrome-, it's a Google thing. If you want to install F-Droid or Exodus on Android today, you have to get past Google's warning that you are putting malware on your device.

as they don’t go evil

Well... anyone who packs their advertising through third-party sites has long since defected to the dark side. It seems to me that the ghost of Brendan Eich is still haunting Mozilla.

If they do, there is always LibreWolf.

Maintaining a browser is an insane amount of work. Without Mozilla working on Firefox, LibreWolf will stagnate and become unusable.

I mean, they've already started cutting some features I have used... So I've got Firefox and Pale Moon on my PC to cover the loss of ftp support. And since some pages don't work in Firefox in either instance of engine, I have to have Chrome installed...

It genuinely sucks that some websites don't bother to support Firefox! When you encounter one, you might want to complain to the devs and open a webcompat issue.

I have already encountered some websites which didn't work with Chrome very well, but did with Firefox. They mentioned it's because of how Chrome now handles audio, the audio doesn't start.
