If this isn't a targetted advert in my browser, I don't know what is.

Yeah, i gave up self managing the adware and went to the Firefox fork, LibreWolf

I've considered doing the same myself. How has it been working out for you?

[-] arak@lemmy.today 2 points 20 hours ago

been running it for a year, not bad, had to just allow webgl coz so many sites won't load properly without it

That's good news as far as I'm concerned. I've got WebGL disabled in Firefox now. Frankly, if a website needs direct access to my GPU to run, I don't need that website.

What does add-on support look like? The baseline privacy looks (very) good, but I think I'd still like things like umatrix to block unnecessary or unwanted resource requests and to prevent running any extraneous javascript etc. An ad-blocker like ublock origin goes without saying. I refuse to access the WWW without one.

If that ever becomes impossible, I'll switch to Gemini exclusively :)

i think it's mostly the same as firefox for extensions, i have UBO, improve youtube, Twitchtv adblock, allow rightclick

Then I think I'm all set to transition. Thanks for answering all my questions. I appreciate it!
