Good morning Fediverse! I've recently switched from #Chromium to #Firefox due to the impending bullshit with disabling ad blockers. Honestly I'm not Firefox's biggest fan because they take money from Surveillance Capitalists but it was easy to disable the #antifeatures in it. It's a shame that #GnomeWeb doesn't have #WebRTC support yet, otherwise I wouldn't need Firefox. #DeleteGoogle #SurveillanceCapitalism #AntiCapitalism #Leftism #Technology #Infotech #Infosec #IT #Socialism #Anarchism

Yeah, I use uBlock Origin already with Better's block list. Works pretty well. I used DuckDuckGo as my search engine and yeah I don't want to put too many extensions on my browser due to resource usage and battery drain issues.
@revkellyn @dublinux You can also try startpage.com for search.
@revkellyn The only way I use Firefox for personal use is Firefox Focus on Android. Otherwise on desktop I prefer Chrome with Ghostery.

Yeah, Chrome is a good browser on the desktop but I can't trust it anymore. I do like how Firefox for mobile let's you install extensions. Of course I only installed one, uBlock Origin.
@revkellyn Good luck with Firefox. I'm not their biggest fan either but I use it too. Useful addons you might like to try include Privacy Badger from the EFF, No-Script and uBlock Origin(it's an ad-blocker). And keep an eye on the default search engines in about:preferences.
