    Your extension code could be spying on you. Let OUR software do that instead! It’s much more secure in our black box.

    what i don’t get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser…

    i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

        Firefox has absolutely destroyed the battery of most mobile devices I’ve tried it with. Any ideas on fixes to get it at least to parity with chrome? In-use power metrics seem fine, but if I let it sit Chrome will allow the system to go into low power/sleep while firefox tends to just keep things running somehow? (Not sure why there’s down votes here… I use Firefox by default whenever I’m on desktop and this is a real issue I experience on my mobile systems (M1 pro mac, Intel/Windows laptop, M1 iPad pro, and amd/Linux (steamdeck)). I’m also genuinely interested in solution recommendations… Like I get you love Mozilla and firefox, I do too, but I can’t substitute one for the other when it causes a significant shift in my device use paradigm.) (For the continued down votes, 1. You’re the reason people don’t want to use software you like 2. I’ve tested this on my machines and it’s very real, only occurring when firefox is running and not related to system settings).

        I use FF as my primary browser on my desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.

        As much as I love and support FF and the Mozilla Foundation, I find that some websites simply need a Chromium-based browser to function properly. It’s frustrating as hell.

        I wonder how many people tried FF, had their favourite site stop working, and then switched back to Chrome.

        Seriously… enough of this “oh well its not that bad, atleast we can still do this, or that. Maybe blockers will work but with less features, etc.”

        Fuck that shit

        The extra [API] functionality already allows uBlock Origin on Firefox to work better than the Chrome version.

        Always has been.

        Tired of getting fucked by chr0me and g00gle? Stop spreading your cheeks and just use Firefox (librewolf, mull, et. al.) and uBlock Origin.

        Simple as.
