Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Mozilla Firefox?
Firefox opening the gates for addons on mobile is some really good timing.
They really come in clutch with that upgrade. Some people are already drooling for that feature (including me)
Use nightly.
use iceraven
iceraven works on Android?
ye i use it
Actually, yes. Firefox is good but I hate the UI. Okay, Brave seems nice. Love the UI, sync feels slow, and why can I not move the top bar to the bottom on mobile????? Phones are BIG. Don't make it harder for me to use your product. Okay, there is Vivaldi, king of customisability. Nice, but feels slow. Back to Firefox. Still hate UI. And now wanting a better new tab page. Proceed to discover Tabliss for a good new tab page, and Firefox-UI-Fix on github to give me a better UI on Firefox desktop. Wow, problems solved. I'm sticking to Firefox forever (unless I decide to switch to Librewolf where I can still implement all the same fixes as on Firefox).
Firefox UI is controlled by CSS
Just find a UI you like and add it in
Moved to Firefox a while ago, specifically because of Manifest V3.
The only issue I've found so far is that you can't log in to PSN on it. Just locks the browser completely and you need to kill it in task manager. Apparently it's to do with password saving.
Hmm, I'm using PSN from FF. Problem with am extension, maybe?
get brave exclusively for psn?
Nope. Many Chromium forks already have very good inbuilt adblockers , which won't be affected by the MV3 stuff. On top of that, one could also use system-wide blockers such as AdGuard and DNS-level blockers (which is not even a bad idea if you're on Windows anyway).
System wide ad blockers can't block a lot of ads, namely same-domain ads or those that are built into the html. Much rarer than the external page kind (DNS ones) thankfully.
You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.
I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.
You mean Chromium Brave Edition?
Why you got beef with Mozi? They chill
Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.
Meanwhile: Uses Brave
Such an ignorant and bad faith statement I won't even bother to reply.
They said in their reply.
Are you for real? Everything you said reads like a tech bro caricature
Yawn...
Would you care to explain to the class?
They donate a lot to political campaigns that have nothing to do with technology or anything relevant. I use and love Firefox, but this is definitely questionable

Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.
If anything, they’re worse.
I could go on.
