Literally just use Firefox for Android with uBlock. People act like this is difficult.
*uBlock Origin
I've seen the following types of people:
and then disable your YouTube app and save a link to webpage to your home screen. I haven't seen a YouTube ad in years with this method.
Or just use ReVanced. Use microG for non rooted phones.
There's also PipePipe, which also does SponsorBlock so that you don't have to see sponsor segments in videos
Oh, nice. I didn't know that.
and/or use a video player program for playing videos, like mpv (+ yt-dlp).
Decades. (counting mplayer and youtube-dl before)
I’ve been on Firefox since the very, very, very earliest days, back from when it started as Phoenix. I’ve been diehard believer in Firefox from Day 1.
But as usage has declined (and declined), many websites that I actually need to use no longer test for Firefox. A key website I use doesn’t allow me to log in with Firefox. Not as a “we don’t support Firefox” but quite literally it doesn’t work.
I’m all for flying the banner but I can’t live with a browser that no longer works on the websites I need. And yes, I’ve filed a bug, but because it relates to a login Mozilla closed it (they can’t verify logging in to this website).
I happen to be moving my account to a different website so I may be able to dodge it this time but Firefox really is sinking and at what point does one choose to abandon the ship?
Name and shame those sites. Those sites are the problem not firefox.
You’re not wrong. But I’m not on social media so have no channels to shout on. I doubt any newspaper would accept a reader contribution about this.

Not available for IOS. For android firefox is bad at sandboxing and security. Vanadium if it had adblocking would be perfect for me.
I do this as much as possible. However the Firefox in-page translation software seems to do something that actually changes the page (and this can break things like forms) whereas chromium browsers do some kind of translation layer on top, so the page can run normally beneath it.
It's an infuriating reason but right now it means I have to split my browser use depending on if I need translations or not.
You know you can install the "chromium-like" translation thing on Firefox as well, as an extension? E.g. this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/traduzir-paginas-web/
Is that new in the last couple years or so? I recall chrome breaking form entry left and right when translating before i could read the language.
Right now chromium is my best choice for translations in-page
I used to keep it installed just for that too so I'm not judging. I just also recall forms being broken by the translate tool.
Yeah I think it's something about breaking the attributes of html elements. If it translates some id or data value then the form can't find it.
The same for if it replaces elements or otherwise breaks hooks and event listeners.
I'd rather use Librewolf than waste an hour wrestling Firefox configuration for better privacy.
Heck... I'd even rather use Brave than Firefox.
~~Canonical~~^1^ are a puppet for Google, long time, enshitifying.
^1^ OOPS! LOL. Mozilla! XD Slip of the tongue, wrong enshitifying corporation making free software.
It's not a difficulty issue It's that lots of us have tried Firefox and don't like it.
Personally I don't use Firefox because it is buggy, is missing critical features, implements some web standards weirdly and has weird user agent styles. The end result is that many websites don't look right and don't work correctly and/or fully
Interesting. I use Firefox for everything and haven't had any issues. Maybe I'm just not that picky?
They're pretty much just hating to hate or basing themselves on very outdated information, 'missing critical features' is a joke, because if it actually were critical it would've been implemented already (plus firefox is very extensible, with many plugins existing and forks adding specific features), if they actually had a point they maybe would've given a single example.
Weirdly implementing some web standards kinda did apply a bit until a few years ago where all the big browser engine developers got together and pinned down the standard. If something still breaks that probably means the website used some out-of-spec workaround that only works in Chrome. Some things do indeed behave differently between firefox and chrome (an example of my own: file input fields with multiple types, eg allow both video and image are handled differently at least in the mobile apps). Yet again if they had a point maybe an example would've been great.
Weird user agent styles?...?? I'm just confused honestly.
Me too
Buggy? Huh.
