Their new UI made the browser unusable anyway. Looks like a child toy to me.

I don't really love Firefox's default UI but I can customize it with about:config and userChrome.css to fit my taste.

I'm currently in Korea, and those ads appear even without being logged in.

No, I would rather quit watching youtube rather than to watch Japanese style animation porn ads.

Things look much better if I'm on a US VPN. But I don't want to get bothered by those porn ads if it suddenly stops (yeah, it sometimes crashes for some reason) or I forget to turn it on. And yeah, I still don't like Grammarly ads although it's much better than porns.

I'd love to imagine around 20 years later people would be retrofitting old and heavy phone, laptop, and EV batteries with lighter and faster-charging ones...

After seeing this news I just created this lemmy account. I hope people make the right decision and move on to lemmy.
