I’d really love to see this in Firefox, even though I already use uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and Container Tabs. Even if this is added, I’d still not give up on these extensions.
Though Brave has been involved in (controversial?) work that’s tangential or unrelated from the core web, such as a substitute for advertising based income for sites, a crypto wallet, etc., I do admire the relentless focus on creating features that help and protect users. It also seems to have a higher velocity of feature releases, perhaps because it can still rely a lot on the open source Chromium project (which it customizes) as opposed to the Firefox team that has to maintain and improve Gecko/Servo as well as handle end user facing features.
- donclark 5y agoI saw several container tabs extensions. Is this the one you use? And if not, which one do you use? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/container-tabs-sidebar/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/container-tab...
- newscracker 5y agoNo, it's not that one, but I'll check it out. I use Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Mozilla [1], which is what many other container related extensions depend on. I also use Temporary Containers [2], Facebook Container by Mozilla [3], and Google Container [3]. There are also container extensions for Twitter, YouTube, etc. [1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multi-account-conta...

- wisniewskit 5y agoJust FYI, Firefox is working on Total Cookie Protection and other features like SmartBlock to keep third party storage access blocked while not breaking web pages. It's definitely nice to see the anti-tracking space getting so active over the past couple of years.
- oynqr 5y agoFirefox also recently started to flashbang me every time I open a tab. You gain some, you lose some.
- aembleton 5y agoWhat is flashbang?
- Cymrukicks 5y agoAll white page i'm assuming. Fantastic terminolgy.
- woko 5y ago> The non-lethal flashbang grenade temporarily blinds anybody within its concussive blast, making it perfect for flushing out closed-in areas. cf. https://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/Flashbang https://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/Flashbang
- aembleton 5y agoIf its the all white page on a new tab, you can add this to your userChrome.css @-moz-document url("about:newtab") { body { background-color: #000000 !important; } }
- oynqr 5y agoIt isn't. about:blank is solid white for a single frame whenever I open it, then it turns dark gray.
- mintplant 5y agoAuthor here! Only the data-collection phase of SugarCoat that feeds the script-rewriting step is dependent on Brave (because it's built on PageGraph [0]). The resulting neutralized scripts can be deployed cross-browser in existing content-blocking tools, e.g., uBlock Origin. No reason why they couldn't be hooked into Firefox!
