    Literally every other browser with uBlock Origin? I am still able to use it even on Chrome.

    I have more problems with uBlock Origin breaking the website. Also, it doesn't block other elements such as cookie walls and news letter signup garbage.

      I never had any issues using ublock origin.

      & Creating own filters in ublock is really easy.

      For example i block YouTube shorts using ublock.

          Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?

          They stole money by adding donation links to content creators pages, then didn't give the donated money to the creators.

            The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

            Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

                As a reminder, Eich was turfed from Mozilla for joining an anti-LGBT hate campaign; and his So Brave browser pushed NFTs and stole money via referral fraud.

                I mean, he's technically better-behaving than Mozilla itself then.

                But I think these endless splits over disagreements and inability to cooperate in the split state are systemic.

                So maybe the whole typical-left "let's unite and make a thing and boot everyone who shows a sign of rot" is systemically harmful. See, people who show signs of rot - they are the better kind. The really bad people don't show any signs of rot until it's too late. Actually they may not show anything, be like Mozilla tops.

                And also one kind of rot is not rot for some people, and the other is not rot for other group of people, and so on. It would be good to build a way of cooperation where people are impeded from cooperation only with whom they themselves disagree, and not the majority.

                Same as my other idea that there should be a way of moderation, where a person's ability to choose is strengthened with all the amazing technology we have, and not with benevolent MITM.

                    crypto, homophobia, fits in with conservatives they all believe in these types of scams. either they buy into crypto, or they are peddling it-themselves.

                          While it's a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.

                          for mobile, but for desktop theres like zen,floorp, "librefox, maybe",,etc. they all still depend on mozilla to survive though.

                            usually ketamine would have an opposite effect, other things like alcohol and stimulants will amplify those things.

                                This whole thread is a Reddit-style two minutes' hate session that gets pissy about the language of his post without addressing the content.

                                Eich is right to be wary of US Intelligence infiltration of the non-profit sector, and his characterization of the sector's hiring preferences is probably accurate.

                                Also the image presented by the glowies concept is hilarious, and demonstrates again why the Right memes better than the Left.

                                this is the reason why you get banned from reddit, by posting false evidence that subs can easily detect, and you keep crying here or another site.

                                    A word's meaning is how it's used. Also yes, there are.

                                    I think the important separation is not between left and right, it's between truth and lie, or between principle and momentary gain.

                                        I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.

                                        Ever since I switched to GrapheneOS, Vanadium has been working well. Never had a problem with Firefox + ublock, or Librewolf (except with a corporate intranet webapp that specifically required users to use Chrome).
