Firefox users who never left: feeling of smugness intensifies

If only there was an alternative. Some kinda fox. A fox that was set aflame

To abuse a saying...

Best time to be on Firefox? Yesterday.

Second best? Today.

Free ad for Firefox. Funny enough can't be blocked by ad blockers.

This, but computer literacy rather than literal literacy

title as it should be: 'google did not die a hero, it instead lived long enough to become the villain.'

Laughs in Firefox

They're going to burn their own browser. If they stop allowing adblockers, a lot of people are just going to change browsers.

Why the hell aren't you on Firefox?

google chrome will suck my balls

In other news: Firefox installs are breaking records.

As if I'll have money for discretionary purchases anyway. Fucking idiots.

Hi Firefox. It's been a while..

People keep saying (and corpos keep believing) that normies will just "get used to the ads or pay a premium"

But everybody has a breaking point. People who already dislike it have left chrome or are in the rush to leave. Once people reach this point, they will start asking their more tech savvy friends or the Internet for a better way.

I honestly hope Google will not change its trajectory because sooner or later, people will get fed up with their bullshit.

When making billions isn't enough there is something wrong with you

Everything Google does is evil. How are people still using anything they make—or control the repo for (chromium, android)

Does anyone on lemmy use chrome?

Fire. Fox.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A year later, Google is restarting the phase-out schedule, and while it has changed some things, Chrome will eventually be home to inferior filtering extensions.

Google's blog post says the plan to kill Manifest V2, the current format for Chrome extensions, is back on starting June 2024.

The company says: "We expect it will take at least a month to observe and stabilize the changes in pre-stable before expanding the rollout to stable channel Chrome, where it will also gradually roll out over time.

On the high end now for me, Slack is drinking 500MB, while a single Google Chat tab, created by this company that is so concerned about performance, is at 1.5GB of memory usage.

Google is adding a completely arbitrary limit on how many "rules" content filtering add-ons can include, which are needed to keep up with the nearly infinite ad-serving sites that are out there (by the way, Ars Technica subscriptions give you an ad-free reading experience and make a great holiday gift!).

Mozilla's blog post on the subject promises "Firefox’s implementation of Manifest V3 ensures users can access the most effective privacy tools available like uBlock Origin and other content-blocking and privacy-preserving extensions."
