I was setting up a new PC yesterday. I did the "use edge to install Firefox" thing and my experience with the internet without ad blocking was traumatising.
But anyway it was nice to see that FF had added startengine to the choices for search engine.
- nicbou 1y agoIt's quite shocking, isn't it? Only my iPad gives me the unfiltered web, to discourage me from using it as a browsing device. It's very effective.
- oktoberpaard 1y agoSafari on iOS does support adblockers, in case you didn’t know. And I’m not taking about DNS level blocking, I really mean browser extensions. I’m using AdGuard, but there are other popular options too.
- nicbou 1y agoThat's what I use on my iPhone, but my iPad is meant to be an offline, low-distraction device.

- msgodel 1y agoKind of crazy to hear people conscious of these problems still run Windows.
- xeonmc 1y agoNext time you can just do winget install 9nzvdkpmr9rd which installs Firefox from the Microsoft store. Or `Mozilla.Firefox` to install from winget-pkgs if the ID is too hard to remember, but the msstore install is cleaner IME. You could also use the Microsoft Store directly which is still better than wading through Edge.
