    I was using Firefox on my phone forever because it can block ads on mobile, and moved back to it from Chrome when it came out that Google was basically going to make ad blocking impossible in chromium itself eventually. I had been using Firefox for a long time even after Chrome came out but started using Chrome during a period where Firefox was much slower and was having a lot of issues for some reason.

    I mean I use Firefox, but why is it a better alternative? (I think I started using it cause it doesn’t stop screen sharing on discord)

      Mainly because it’s not a Chromium based browser. Chrome is making it hard/impossible to use adblock, and if Firefox were to die for whatever reason, Google would basically monopolize the way we interact with the internet (which it has almost done already)

    Firefox mobile with uBlock origin is a fucking godsend, the mobile web is nigh unusable without it because of ads.

      It’s also part of why I don’t use apps for things like YouTube: I don’t have to deal with ads if I just access the site like normal via Firefox.
