Mozilla is about to collapse due to the Google antitrust ruling though.

refalo ,

Um, what makes you think that?

I guess Anonym, PPA, Cliqz, pocket, the default telemetry that is non-trivial to disable, and whatever this latest nonsense is are all just hallucinations.

VarosBounska ,

I do not study in detail if this combination is necessary, but:

  • Firefox (of course)
  • Ghostery
  • Ublock Origin
  • Privacy Badger
  • Decentraleyes
  • Disconnect
ivn ,

All of them except uBlock Origin are in Arkenfox “Do not bother” extension list: github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-…

Paradachshund ,

Has it actually been confirmed when it’s coming? I feel like this has been threatened for years now.

ivn ,

It started in june, for now it’s just showing a warning saying that the extension will soon no longer be supported. They’ll be disabled gradually until the beginning of 2025.

ArbitraryValue ,

We need another meme like this about Firefox but with the first panel saying “Antitrust judgement against Google” and the second panel blank, without anyone coming to the rescue.

The large majority of Mozilla’s revenue comes from the money that Google pays to be the default search engine in Firefox.

breakingcups ,

Wonder if the recent antitrust ruling about Google paying for being the default search engine will affect Mozilla’s funding.

NiPfi ,

And in the meantime Mozilla keeps making worse decisions, too

gdog05 ,

Enshitification of all the things.

atro_city ,

While introducing opt-out tracking where you data is sent to advertisers. Get LibreWolf instead.

VarosBounska ,

Oh I didn’t know this fork, thanks!

30p87 ,

Or just set the few relevant settings manually, if you need nightly/dev edition.

atro_city ,

Until the next dumb shit Mozilla does without telling its users.

HauntedBucket ,

I am specifically waiting for this to happen so I can be part of the flood to Firefox when they finally throw the switch.

cRazi_man ,

Why wait?

Brave browser exists for those who are particularly attached to chromium.

HauntedBucket ,

I’m not touching brave with a 10 ft pole but thanks for your advertisement

tdawg ,

Lemmy always seems to hate Brave but no one ever says why

majestictechie OP ,
  • shady issues in the past from company
  • heavily integrated with crypto (controversial for some)
  • CEO is a transphobe
  • it’s still Chrome under the hood
ivn ,
  • CEO is also homophobic and a covid skeptic
  • the browser used to modify crypto exchange URLs to add it’s affiliate code to it
  • it used to collect donations for content creators without their consent

Why people always forget the simple:

Switching Google to Brave is not an upgrade is a sidegrade.

frankgrimeszz ,

My personal reason, I looked at their code and it was amateur town. Hacked together trash. There’s a proper way to modify Chromium and they didn’t follow any of it. In contrast, Vivaldi’s coders knew what they were doing. I don’t actively use or support Chrome, but if you’re going to do something, do it right.

ivn ,

I don’t know, I’ve seen answers to this so many times on Lemmy.

I’ve seen this answered so many times it’d make your head spin, looney-toons style. If you don’t know then you haven’t been paying any attention.

cRazi_man ,

I’m just learning about what all the fuss around Brave is. But I’d be interested to hear how Google seems to be the ethical choice for a daily driver browser currently. It’s obviously fine to not want to use Brave, but how is it the inferior choice when compared to Chrome (or even considered a sidegrade)? Even with all the issues mentioned I’d still recommend it as the lesser of the 2 evils compared to Chrome.
