Switched to Firefox 8 months ago and I'll never go back. I dare you to try it.
- starik36 5y agoYou could probably use Firefox 93. Firefox 8 is quite old.
- rudian 5y ago> I'll never go back I probably said that a couple of decades ago. Things change.
- asdff 5y agoHow are you blocking ads without ublock origin?
- beebeepka 5y agoNoScript. No need to thank me
- asdff 5y agobroke all my banking websites and probably half the rest of the web when i tried it out unfortunately. the world is reliant on javascript for better or worse.
- pessimizer 5y agoWhitelist your banking websites.
- asdff 5y agoAnd I did, then some other critical website would come up that would be broken, then another, and another, and eventually I just got sick of dealing with the internet in a broken state and always having to mess with a config. At least with ublock origin I can block trackers and ads and still use websites that rely on js, which is the vast majority of them these days, and it works without me having to do hardly any fiddling at all.
- gorjusborg 5y agopihole blocks ads across the entire network
- asdff 5y agoI already know that's going to be an ongoing project getting sites correctly whitelisted, plus its all moot when I take my laptop outside my home. Ublock origin just works.
- xxpor 5y agothe only sites I've had to whitelist are the shopping links in Google. I maintain my pihole outside the house with an always on wireguard tunnel. Granted, this is more work than installing an extension but my phone uses it too. The biggest thing I miss is ad blocking on youtube.
- jikbd 5y agoI have, many times. It’s slower than chrome and comes with lots of ads in the interface by default.
