Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

      Unfortunately, your statement probably only deserves bothsides.jxl. Please attempt to honestly and objectively compare things, despite the personal inconvenience.

      They make mistakes, but Firefox and Mozilla are obviously nowhere near as fucked up as Chrome and Google by any measure. And Firefox would only improve if people stopped running back to Chrome when something was not perfect.

        As for that context you’re missing, I’m counting them as equally bad because they run the same privacy violating approach to tracking user data and putting it where it shouldn’t go

        Maybe actually read or ask for context. I didn’t include it in the comment because I figured that people who care enough to ask would ask

        It’s not like we have great options here. Safari isn’t supported on Windows or Linux. Opera has its own issues (like predatory loan apps) even if you’re willing to pay for it. Crossing my fingers that Ladybird will work out, but it has a long way to go (though it did better than I thought it would when I tried it a few months back). Everything else is some variant of Chrome.

        If you need to be on the web at all, Firefox still seems like the best of the shit pile.

          There’s also the Firefox forks like Zen and Floorp. It’s still early days for Zen, but it’s looking promising.

        Not just that, not everyone who was listed in their open letters apparently agreed to or knew they were in them
