As others have mentioned it doesn't stop YouTube ads or search ads. Most likely because Mozilla is still quite dependent on Google for it's income.
Which is why I think we need to be less critical everytime Mozilla tries to make money some other way. They need to become more self sufficient in order to improve Firefox.
- Anoian 1mo agoI feel like they only exist so that google can claim that competition exists.
- worldsavior 1mo agoThat's correct. Soon there will be Ladybird, hopefully in a few years a very good competitor to Chrome/Firefox. The thing I'm worried about with Ladybird is it's core logic is being coded by AI. I don't mind AI in other regions of code but I think core logic should be carefully written. They're also not very organized. Deciding to rewrite the whole codebase from CPP to Swift, then the decision changes to Rust shows uncareful decision making.
- ramijames 1mo agoIt's weird because it does on Android. I use Firefox on Android to watch YouTube videos without ads.
