Well, this is forking intolerable.

#Firefox is officially #enshittified.

It turned on the horrid "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories" without me asking.

Those stories are the last dadgum thing I ever want to see. I don't want more news about USFASH.

Smeg #Mozilla. I hope Google bumps them off the money-nipple and they crash and burn.

I'm going to try #WaterFox and #LibreWolf again.

#enshittification #e14n

I'm currently using Vivaldi, having switched from Brave, despite not being open source & based on chromium, they seem to be the 'good guys' at the moment.

I eagerly await Ladybird though.

Yeah, they seem decent, honestly.

My gripe with Vivaldi isn't that the UI isn't FOSS, but that it's based on Blink.

That's not a technical objection, and it's not directly an ethical objection, but it comes from my deep-seated desire to not propagate the Blink hegemony, having lived through the awful "This website is designed to be used with Internet Explorer" days.

@rl_dane @jase @joel uBlock origin. Nuff said.

I do use uBO, but I'm not sure what your comment is replying to?

@rl_dane @jase @joel Well, Google has made it impossible to use the proper version of uBlock Origin with the whole manifest v3 affair, did it not? That is the single biggest reason for me to avoid anything Chromium-based on the desktop.

@thedoctor @jase @joel

They've blocked it in Chromium proper, but many Blink-based browsers including Vivaldi allow it to run.

@rl_dane @jase @joel Indeed? Interesting.
