Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use the WWW, or would severely cut back on the amount of use, if I had to suffer advertising to do so.

Other browsers have pretty good ad blockers. I genuinely don't know if I would be able to tell the difference between uBlock Origin on Firefox and uBlock Origin Lite on Chrome.

I can tell the difference and I can't stand it tbh

It's the custom filters. For example with origin you can hide the annoying "login with google" but you can't with lite.

Seems pretty logical to me, given the fact that it's the only major browser not built on the engine that banned the underlying API ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They can take uBlock from my cold dead hands.
