Who else /firefoxchad/ now? I was too lazy to ever change browsers but the ublock ban immediately made me download Firefox
Cant believe Google could be this retarded

>>105872116 (OP)
It's pretty woke compared to Brave.

Isn't Mozilla basically Google by now? Sure it might work for a while but they will be coming for it as well

>>105872116 (OP)
i only stick with chrome at the moment because i'm on an android phone with chrome browser and it shares browser history, passwords and tabs and etc. and the android firefox app is an unusable dumpster fire

>>105872116 (OP)
now? i've been using firefox 10+ years now

>>105872945
Is this even true anymore? I am genuinely asking. Firefox android browser has ublock and websites work exactly how I expect them to work. Why do I continuously see people say it's bad?

>mozilla anything
nope

I had a hard crash the other day and Firefox lost all my profile data. I got it back by editing a couple of .ini files and had bookmarks and profile setting/extensions backed up regularly, but it still got to me and gave me a panic attack at the thought of having to reorganize everything. I don't know where I'm going with this, just venting.

I don't like how resources Brave is using. Why is it reading the disk all the time? Think I might go back to the dog.

>>105872116 (OP)
I am using this browser line since netscape still existed.

>>105873007
Firefox mobile is decent and offers syncing as well as extensions. I even prefer the interface, in fact from what I've heard Chrome started copying it. I can't speak in terms of performance comparisons or bugs, but it serves my needs very well because my needs involve browsing 4chan while on the toilet. In fact, I'm shitposting right now.

The Brave update says it has AI. It better not be putting an AI on my machine.

>>105873280
AI doesn't exist.

I've used nothing but edge but switched to FF a few months ago and haven't regretted it.

>>105873315
You silly bunny! :3

There are two types of Chrome users:
>1
Slave cattle who exclusively used Internet Explorer before Chrome came out. Then one day, they saw their favorite slave website Google present a popup for a new and fancy browser, from Google! Brand recognition, you guys! Download it now!
>2
Zoomer cattle who refuse to research shit for a litany of reasons beyond the scope of a /g/ post

Is Ice Weasel browser still around?

>>105872116 (OP)
I never stopped being one.

You think people will migrate? UO lite works just fine for most sites. A lot of people will probably don't mind watching ads on the bigger sites

ebpages take twice as long to load on firefox now even with the betterfox user.js so i switched to the lion and now everything loads instantly. the indian shills were right brave is the best, trannies killed firefox

>webpages take twice as long
sorry dont have this problem because im not poor and have a gigabit connection

Not only my ublock, they also disabled 4cuckX. I checked /g/ while x'less, switched over immediately, and now this site is usable again.
This delay is terrible though it's much slower for loading basic things.

>>105872116 (OP)
I think people are unaware of how dire the browser situtation is. It seems very likely that Mozilla won't receive its normal funding from Google soon. They lowered it to 70% dependency, but that's still a huge amount. This means they'll have to find funding elsewhere, probably by adopting Google like practices. The only other options are Chromium based, ie they are Chrome reskins. Unless you want to use Safari. I have zero hope for Ladybird. You cannot develop something as massive and important as a browser engine by yourself. It's just not possible.

>>105873576
Same, this shit is awful. Would have thought there would have been some simple fix to force re-enable them but I guess if the jeets at google want to play hardball I'll just drop them. It was mostly just my accumulated bookmarked tabs and ease of use of extensions that kept me on chrome until now.
Should I get brave or firefox now? Which works better with ublock and 4chanx which are the main two extensions that I run alongside Sponsorblock

sick they are still making shit btw

this is new is spanish

I guess it's up to you to decide what you want.

i am stupid an i am firmly in the google ecosystem
everything is all syced and shit but this ublock ban is too much.

where can i move that still gives me the google sync but doesn't gimp me whenever it feels like?

>>105874307
What does any of this have to do with Firefox drunk anon?

>>105873338
Thanks for mentioning Edge. I used to use it some time back and it was honestly quite good and did some things better than Chrome
Might moev back

>>105873338
>>105874416
I heard they put Copilot everywhere, on every menu and next to every button, to the point of it being cartoonish.

Either way, Chromium forks are meh. They're not that different from each other these days.

>>105874399
don't use librefox is a trap is tranny, possibly worse

>>105874416
It is assumed Edge will kill normal Ublock at some point, if it hasn't already. For those of you who want to stay on Chrome, you can try out Ublock Lite. It's made by the same dude who made uBO and it works on Chrome. It's not as good, but not as good might still be good enough for your needs.

>>105872116 (OP)
Switched from chrome to FF this morning when i saw that ublock isn't working and got 2 consecutive ads on youtube, what a weird hill to die on for Google

>>105872116 (OP)
I've been using firefox since 1.5.x, I have no reason to change browser as it's still working fine.
I may consider a browser where I can disable the cache and history and no, emptying-on-close is not enough.
if firefox dies I'll use a fork if it exists or maybe the ladyboy (most retarded name ever, I hope they change it) browser from our k(l)ling as by the time I have to change (death of mozila) it would be fine.

>>105873538
I've had this experience too. I'm still using firefox but it pisses me off. And no it's not my internet connection. If I switched back it would stop happening.

>>105874643
Their actual numbers have never been good for making profit from their search engines or youtube or anything, they needed to do something. Gambling their monopoly probably wasn't the best play, but if they had to do that their numbers really were bad.
And I'm not gonna be some delusional person who thinks they're just trying to shake people out here, you don't disable 4chanX and also ublock and not expect people to leave for good. Maybe personal data just isn't selling like it used to? Or people are just so short on spending money they aren't making as much as they used to on ads?

>>105874862
I'm pretty sure they do this because they know most of their userbase isn't technical enough to even care. You'd be amazed what non technical people put up with because they have no idea it doesn't have to be this bad. Most people don't even use an adblocker in the first place anyway.

>>105874757
i have 1gbps internet and firefox loads everything slightly slower but some websites it would load them insanely slow. im not sure if its due to anti bot protections every site has now but with brave everything loads instantly. it feels like they deliberately made it shitter or all the antibot shit has killed firefox. it used to be fine with betterfox but now even betterfox doesnt solve my problem. so its not ur internet

>>105874899
If they're deliberately targeting adblockers though they're targeting people who have been using them for years and might be somewhat technical.
I don't really believe this theory because there's no way they actually think the amount of ads they have every video on youtube or on some random webpage isn't gonna be extremely obtrusive to some guy using an adblocker for the last 10 years - they have to know he'll switch, and he's bound to switch because of the sheer quantity of ads.

This excuse worked the first time with the little warning messages and making it disabled but re-enableable, but it won't work this time where they just outright make them not work unless you do a extremely specific thing that they'll patch soon.

>>105874129
Transilla wastes like 90% of their revenue on woke propaganda. Only a fraction goes into actual developmental costs. I wouldn't worry about it. Plus, if things actually become dire, Google will just become forced to give them money once again lest face yet another legal battle for being a monopoly.

Firefox eats all my memory, what do?

>>105874957
They're targeting all manifest v2 addons, which is why 4chan-x was hit as well. They want to switch completely to manifest v3, and they are. Firefox will for the most part switch too, except where adblockers are concerned. Manifest v3 is more safe for the end user, at the cost of killing things like uBlock Origin. uBOL, for example, can't pull down new filter lists like uBo can, because that functionality is disabled in manifest v3. This stops malicious addons from downloading shit from the internet, as an example.

They may be using this as an excuse to hit adblockers, but at the same time there are genuine reasons to use v3, and a lot of them are security. Firefox even had something like this happen about 10 years ago, when Mozilla decided to disallow XORG or whatever it was. I guess what I'm saying is that it's a complicated situation.

Yeah I'm moving to different browser, but I'm not going to use Firefox.

firefox still send political notifications you can't disable? that's why I deleted it last time

>>105876515
>32
Nah that's old news man. The new minimum is at LEAST 64.
32 is the bare minimum to run a modern game at 60fps. Someone posted a single browser tab eating a gigabyte the other day.

>playing modern objectively shitty AAA trash

Not even once!

Old video games are objectively better than the "modern" ones anyway!

>Someone posted a single browser tab eating a gigabyte the other day.
Let me know when you find it!

>>105873007
Ignore the other poster they're a retard. Firefox mobile with ublock is the best overall web experience on mobile, as long as your hardware is fast enough to keep up.

>>105876828
>Also how do I get rid of cloudflare challenges issues?
You don't.

Switched to Brave and all my user scripts work faster and mysterious bugs are simply gone as well, must be about how the javascript engine is implemented.

>>105876864
Fuck you, I figured it out anyways.
Onto Firefox it is, until something fucks up.

IIRC Firefox mobile went through a pretty rough period where it was rewritten, but it's real solid now.

>>105876882
How did you fix it? Is it an addon?

Delete System32.

>>105877125
I'm on Troonix......

>>105873538
>pages take twice as long to load on firefox
That's because firefox is the only non-chromium based browsers and sites either think you're trying to hack them or know you're blocking ads so they start sending a lot of garbage to block you.

>>105877208
the load times don't improve when you fake the user agent, seems to be caused by the javascript engine and other issues with the code, poor optimizations and so on

Ublock Origin still works if you enable developer mode in the extensions page and install it manually from the github.

I use firefox, I have never installed brave

Why use Brave when its known to be cryptoscam shit that sells your data when you can just install Ungoogle Chromium?

>>105877233
none of what you said is true, facts > feelings and schizophrenia
brave is just chromium with a baked in adblocker

Soon they will ban it on firefox.
In fact, soon they'll ban anonymous internet full stop. You will have to be logged in for EVERY site on the internet soon.
So the internet dies this year. Time for p2p, because the internet is officially useless this year.

What I love is the fact that MFA has been failing and compromising accounts instead of protecting them, so what does the government and these corps do?
Enforce that shit EVEN more and just flat out deny the exploits exist.

That's when you know the game was big data, not safety.

I love it how kids just... don't use these sites instead of logging in though.
They didn't think that through did they?

I wonder if the next move will be FORCING people to use MFA internet and eliminating offline means.
By the way, prisons are at capacity nowadays because kids already want to break this system. This could turn that prison climate into full mad max. I've already been attacked by youths. I know many people have been.

Shit like this is causing it.
And they justify it on the basis of "protecting children". Whose children? Certainly not any around me. They're being attacked in the streets because you impoverished so many youths with these protocols and then covered up those facts.

But it's reached a point where the reality is so prima facie obvious and so in conflict with reported statistics that the average joe is beginning to think they're nothing but horseshit in some Half Lie 2 -esque way. Even my dumb senile parents, complete nuffies for the tv and mainstream facts, the most basic target for propaganda, has some doubts now to the point where it's really upsetting them.

Any foxchads here know how I can get the address bar to autofill more than just the base domain name, like Chrome does? For example, on Chrome it would fill in the most used board for me too.

>>105878074
huh? I just type "4" and got all the shit

>>105878196
Chrome fills it in the actual bar, so I can type "4" then hit enter and be brought to the board.
I get what you're getting too, but I still have to use the down arrow key to select it first or click with a mouse.

>>105872116 (OP)
I downloaded brave last night because ublock stopped working on chrome and its honestly a lot better then firefox.

>>105872116 (OP)
Firefox has been cucked for a while now. Used it since 2004 but I'm switching to more privacy friendly forks such as librewolf and fennec. Anyone knows of a better alternative let me know.

Fuck chromium. I'd only consider using Brave if Firefox breaks uBO.

come home white men

why are there absolutely no news articles on this? It feels like a pretty big deal, all these people migrating from chrome because of the v2 drop.
Or are we that much of a minority and no one in the wide world gives a shit about having to deal with ads?

the majority of phone users don't know or care

>>105879133
(((why))) do you think, anon?

>>105879133
>why are there absolutely no news articles on this?
there were everywhere when it all started with the mv3 stuff, why do you think they made the articles and stuff so long ago? so people forget about it.

Any auto cookie wiper extension where you can whitelist domains that is manifest V3 for Chrome? I need to use it at work

>>105872123
I don't give a shit. Only NPC retards care if something is woke.

>>105873765
Using the same logic chrome is just another khtml skin.

Kde won.

>>105872116 (OP)
When firefox killed xul/cpcom and even jetpack (their own addon sdk) and replaced it with something with 1/10 of its flexibility about half of the extensions I was using were unable to port to crippledxtensions.

With mv2 to mv3 I would only notice it for ublock, if at all.

The browser I'm using is still keeping the mv2 extensions enabled, we'll see how much that lasts but yet it also has a build in adblocker compatible with uBo lists.

>>105874022
One of the main devs of Seamonkey also died last year too, it's practically abandoned and still using the Firefox 60 engine with a few cherry picked patches. Seamonkey is practically a "museum piece" browser now instead of actually being functional. Pale Moon is also struggling to keep Goanna functional with all the new standards. It's only a matter of time before Cloudflare stops giving it special treatment and tell them to update their engine properly.

>>105879133
The vast majority of people don't use a PC, this would be weird and obscure news to them. Most people who read those news articles are 90 year old boomers and would not know what an "ad blocker" is.

I just hate how shit it is at handling VRAM. It just keeps eating it up without freeing anything until you close it.

How do I get the Firefox Picture-in-Picture window to match the video's native resolution?

Example: I'm watching a youtube video. I set it to 360p. I enable PiP. The video window is automatically set to 640x360. I turn the video resolution up to 720p. The video windows resizes to 1280x720.

>>105884645
I'm not familiar with the about:config preferences, if they even exist, but if it's mainly a YouTube thing you could try Enhancer for YouTube's PIP mode as it has some extra settings. I can't guarantee that they will do exactly what you want though, but it can be manually resized.
