🚨🚨 BREAKING: Google Chrome to kill uBlock Origin for good 🚨🚨

@Tutanota Librewolf. Why isn't it listed here?

[cypnk@masto.hackers.town]

@Tutanota Basically Firefox on every device I'm currently using

If my Blackberry was still supported, I'd be trying to run it there too. Somehow...

@mjc0961
in order to net get too deep into why I don't get any apps, let's just say: I'd prefer a Vivaldi with some ads over a Firefox with no ads any time of the day, simply because it's that much better at being a web browser.

@Tutanota Am i the only one using #qwant ?

[fbinin@mastodon.fbin.in]

@weirdfoodie @Tutanota
Ohh yes. I have been using it for 3+ years now. I believe from 9X.X version.

[chx@chx.contact]

@Tutanota Vivaldi. I used Opera. I still would had it survived.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Safari

[davidvedvick@fosstodon.org]

@Tutanota LibreWolf, the base fork of Zen Firefox!

[r3dr3clus3@infosec.exchange]

@Tutanota On desktop I alternate between Librewolf, Mullvad, and Tor. Mobile is Vanadium because GrapheneOS is the way to go on mobile.

I left Firefox when Mozilla lost its way and started incorporating AI features and making questionable choices.

@Tutanota i would love to switch to firefox, but there is a extension i use in vivaldi or other chromium which is important to me called "Hand Tool" its lets me scroll like a photoshop document holding spacebar or say scrolling on phone type feel coz i use wacom tablet, i can't find as good a extension in Firefox sadly does anyone know such thing in Firefox let me know

[jrdepriest@infosec.exchange]

@Tutanota

LibreWolf on Windows and Linux.

IronFox on Android.

[numerfolt@kirche.social]

@ftranschel @Tutanota To be honest, it took me a day to figure out that Librewolf is configured to delete all website data on close

But no other problems so far

[numerfolt@kirche.social]

@vp9kf Vivaldi is based on chromium, just like Google Chrome. So they won't be able to support uBlock Origin either

[eldersea@expressional.social]

@Tutanota

Brave ain't it. They should not be recommended.

Why I recommend against Brave

If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on

LibreNews (thelibre.news)

@Fakepivot Hmm, does this work?

[hurt138@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota another vote for Librewolf

[numerfolt@kirche.social]

@Fakepivot hmm, some more, that are similar, but not the exact same

@Tutanota Brave Browser

[datapaul@union.place]

@Tutanota Firefox!

[stoneware945@mastodon.social]

This is obviously LLM generated SEO slop. "Their privacy Shield combines features you can only get on Firefox by adding certain extensions like NoScript and HTTPSEverywhere." HTTPS Everywhere was sunsetted in 2023 and every browser since 2021 has a https everywhere function natively. There's also nothing new about MV2 and uBlock here, it's just clickbait. Very dissapointing!
