Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

Ive been wary if firefox since wheneved it was they decided it was okay to shove “pocket” into the browser. Along with not including a built in adblocker out of the box (from the same people who practically invented the popup blocker), i just dont see mozilla as anything other than anti monopoly insurance for google, which they obviously dont need anymore.
Mozilla as a company has just been a decade of one poor decision after another adding more bloat and doing nothing meaningful to counter chromes near monopoly.
Vivaldi isnt perfect and brave has its baggage, but at least they actually include adblocking out of the box, a feature that just about everyone wants. Sure its easy enough to install an addon to firefox for it but the fact that you even have to do that should tell you everything you need to know about who mozilla is actually working for.

Abandoned FF in 2021 and went on Brave because fuck Mozilla. No regrets. Vivaldi is cool as well, but I think that the adblocker is a bit weaker. I’d switch to it otherwise.

Out of the frying pan, into the Brave fire. You might want to look at the controversy around Brave, if you haven’t.

Brave works fine for me and that’s all it matters. I don’t care about made up “controversies” of and internet drama. As if Mozilla didn’t fuck It up several times along it’s miserable history.

if you go into settings, you can manage sources and add additional filterlists.

I know. Still, it has a bit less flexibility isolation than Brave (fingerprint protection, ephemeral storage and so on).

Librewolf has all of the good parts of Brave and none of the shitty parts
