Browsers, especially Firefox are getting buggier. They don't do testing anymore they just wait for "cybersecurity experts" (aka scammers and cryptocurrency sealers) to find a new CVE and then patch it by forcing out an update. Firefox has had FOUR point releases in the last four weeks, every time this happens you have to restart and unload your tabs and lose your place in videos.

While updates are important they are abused, in fact Mozilla moved to four weekly "major" releases so they could get their version number higher than Chrome.

They also have "push updates" codenamed Normandy which allows them to do remote code execution in the browser.

The ONLY reason, and YOU KNOW THIS (and Reddit knows it too) people use Firefox is because they are UBLOCKfags, once Google embeds ads directly into the Youtube streams and make the ability to view ads a requirement to pass captchas Firefox will be OBSOLETE.

>But muh privacy
They develop on Github and Gets funded by revenue from ads

>But muh Furryforks
Building on rotten foundations.

>But muh Lion Browser
Google will come after you too.

k. How are those short videos and lower attention spans helping out with this shilling?
>Doesn't know about Perceptual Ad blockers
AI has it's uses. The next level makes them impervious to removal, especially when run locally.

Is there even a point to all your shilling, or do you just need attention?

I'm pointing out inconvenient facts, 97.5% of web users hate Firefox, when back 15 years ago Firefox's market share was 10 times higher.

I use old firefox nightly, luckily i can still install some modern addons because they had minimum require atleast version 115 the last working modern is 117 that can work on windows 7.

I also hate ublock-origin, because they remove classic-ui which i prefer. that's also the reason i don't update ublock to newer version. though i rarely visiting youtube. but I still get to see an ads. so i made a userscript with the help of AI to block youtube ads, which perfectly work.

They don't even read their own telemetry, apart from making excuses to remove features.

Firefox devs love the Google dev money and the Sponsored Tile revenue.

I was part of the original spread Firefox campaign, Mozilla abandoned me in return for AI money.

I would use Firefox, but the nordvpn extension after about a day of use causes sites to take 20+ seconds to load. Happens on every device I own on both Linux and windows.
Switched to ungoogled chromium and every site and extension works as expected.

the death knell for Firefox was the open admission to selling its user data, Chromes was losing uBlock Origin. Just use Librewolf and get over yourselves

Firefox is now a one trick pony, for poorfags who rather buy weed than youtube premium.
