If youâre saying, âwell, I need Chrome because I need such-and-such extension for my jobâ, the computer will not explode if you install another browser. Use Chrome ONLY for work tasks and use Firefox for everything else. If youâre concerned about losing your bookmarks, Firefox can import your Chrome bookmarks.
[ID: Firefox Library window. The âImport and Backupâ panel is expanded, displaying the option, âImport Data from Another Browserâ, which is also circled with a red MS Paint ellipse. ID end.]
For $5 a month, you can completely conceal your online activities from your ISP in a manner that isnât just immediately monetised or turned over to the cops. No, itâs not free, it does cost money, but the money doesnât go to line a billionaireâs pockets.
I wonder how much of this is because of work/school from home forcing people to use Chrome so all their stupid monitoring softwares and platforms can work.
This is also your reminder that you donât have to use just one browser. You can use chrome for all the monitoring bullshit your office wants you to run and use firefox for everything else.
Be sure to add the multi account containers extension to your firefox, which allows you to be logged in to multiple accounts on the same website at the same time in the same window but in different tabs.
look on my five open tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, accounts!) ye mighty and despair.
Firefox is super good, folks. Itâs good in a general âgoogle shouldnât own everything in the entire fucking worldâ sense AND in a âthis is an actual good product that does lots of cool shitâ sense.
ALSO make sure to add the Ublock origin extension on Firefox - I havenât seen a youtube ad in five years and you donât have to either.
While youâre at it, why not add the Wayback Machine extension so that if you go looking for a page that has been taken down the wayback machine will automatically offer you an archived version instead; also handy for documenting peopleâs shitty takes and winning arguments after they delete the original post!
Worried that Firefox is going to slow down your computer? In benchmarks, modern versions of chrome and firefox are pretty much the same speed but you can still install the auto tab discard extension ANYWAY so that it will snooze unused tabs in order to keep your computer running faster. Set it to sleep, discard, close, and store tags at your discretion!
And while youâre at it: install Firefox as your mobile browser for android and add those extensions to your mobile browser! Mobile adblock is here, baybee, save your data and enjoy a better mobile experience! And install it on iOS! iOS canât add extensions, but at least itâs better than safari, and if you want a somewhat more private iOS browsing experience try firefox focus for iOS (which is also available on android but you can accomplish the same thing with extensions).
Anyway, firefox is good.
Also: in January 2023, Chrome is making some changes to plugin architecture that effectively neutering adblockers. If you want good adblocking, you wonât have it in Chrome. Use Firefox
(In fairness, some Chrome-derived browsers like Vivaldi and Opera have openly parted ways with Chrome about this, and more power to them, but Firefox is the way to go.)
Years on the internet and somehow i still click on comments sections with the insanely optimistic idea that I’ll learn something new instead of being subjected to the dumbest motherfuckers online typing like their sole purpose in life is to make me want to end mine
“Wow, what an interesting post! I want to see what sort of fascinating discourse is being generated by the idea posited by the original poster” <- Me, operating under levels of delusion yet unexplained by modern science
âWhy are you so upset about adult content bans? You donât even post that stuff. canât you just look at porn somewhere else?â
Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.
