Mozilla has been doing too many shady things recently.
Firefox
A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
And the browser experience is getting worse too. So, I’m not sure what our options are for the future. I tolerate the many issues large sites have displaying in Firefox because Firefox is the last holdout against all of this egregious tracking everywhere. But if they’re going to block uBlock, collect a bunch of data by default, and make websites look worse, why am I using it?
I tolerate the many issues large sites have displaying in Firefox because…
With which sites are you seeing these issues? I don’t think I’ve seen Firefox have a problem rendering a website any differently than chromium in many years.
Reddit, Facebook, IRS.gov, and Ticketmaster to name a few. I can’t log in from Firefox on the IRS site and can’t claim tickets on Ticketmaster.
Interesting. I have no problems with either Reddit or Facebook. I can’t comment on either irs.gov or Ticketmaster. I have no history with either.
Issues with those two sites are on Firefox for Android. I chalked it up to them breaking their mobile sites to push their stupid apps, but I got an iPhone a few days ago, and the sites look fine in Safari.
Edit: I’m sure some of it has to do with a combination of my uBlock origin filters, plus my NextDNS config, but I have the same DNS config on this phone, and an Adblock, without issues.
And I just installed uBOL on a couple of company employee laptops expecting it to be future-proof. Should've stuck with uBO.
uBO is still available:
My guess is that it was flagged by AI
That explanation does seem plausible, but Mozilla's emails say the review was performed manually. Either way, the result wasn't great.
Manually… by an AI.
It wouldn't surprise me if even if it was a person reviewing it, they used AI to "help".
Tired of this AI bullshit creeping into and ruining everything. Unfortunately this is probably just the beginning.
when ublock goes, i go :p
Where, Chome land?
librewolf or that other browser that's in development, i forget the name
Ladybird?
It won't even reach Alpha until the summer of 2026 at a minimum. I wouldn't expect it to be a replacement for another few years assuming it doesn't fade away.
Arc?
Floorp? Zen?
Are you just making words up?
Feels like it lol
Ladybird I think
