Who told you to tell the truth?

You had no right!

Even if they did so, isn't Firefox entirely open source? At least their work could be forked (though I agree if they don't have the resources, hardly anyone else could make it)

We should all probably start donating to Firefox. Isn't Google their main source of income?

There might come a time when they prefer to gut Firefox, forcing Mozilla to either reject uBlock Origin or die (or they could simply pull the plug on funding knowing they'll earn more when people go back to Chrome-based browsers)

You don't say, Sherlock

I finally had a minute to try it out and unfortunately it does not seem to change anything on my 2020 Mac+Intel (the GPU load skyrockets when I watch videos on YouTube)

Well, you're right in principle, but with my (old, but current) Mac+Intel configuration Firefox is not as sleek as Chrome and also often Firefox turns the fan on while Chrome doesn't (it may just be that Google is bricking Firefox when you're on YouTube, for example)

Anyhow, I'm trying to use Firefox as much as I can (I've always done so), but it's always been true it was a better experience to use Chrome on my setup (and I've never used Safari)

Edit: why the downvotes? To teach me a lesson? I said he's right, but I do have an actual problem and cannot yet make the full move (and am going to check out the suggestions below. Thanks!)

I almost feel like there's an answer there for you, but I can't put my finger on it.

However, last night I had a vision about th singer of Motorhead. I think it means something...

Hey dude, I've been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son's bike.

It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who'll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.

In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.

PS Welcome to Lemmy!

When I receive things like this, I make sure to open Gmail from within Firefox with all extensions meant to defend me (like NoScript, unlock origin, privacy badger, https everywhere) and then I hover over the gigantic button "check my activity" and see if it leads to a accounts.google.com link.

Either way, I then copy the link address without clicking on it, and open it in a private window to see what happens. If it's a scam, the page it opens has a legit looking, but wrong google address (aka, it cannot really end with google.com). Then I just stop having fun and don't continue nor type anything

What does it look like in your case?

"TurboTax must die"

That would be the perfect title of a multi billion dollar franchise about rebels from the IRS tryijg to thwart known scammers from Intuit.

I've seen all the movies from 1 to 7 at the theater (4,5,6 when they were remastered right before Episode 1). I like the old 4,5,6 though they're not perfect, but they are enjoyable. I tolerated 1,2,3 and applaud their existence since they made me discover Mr Plinkett and Red Letter Media. When I saw Episode 7 I had to stop. It felt too much of an insult to the viewer's intelligence (it wasn't enough to have two Death Stars in Episodes 4 and 6, they had to have a Mega Super Death Star in Episode 7... But this was very much not the only awful thing about the movie). I've watched Episode 8 on an airplane and I still have to watch episode 9

Operation Mindcrime is a gem!
