what the hell is this firefox
>>106805769works on my machine
>>106805769You can hide them btw.
>what you want your new page to be>blank page>select
>>106805769actually i wish they do more of these than bs AI and tracking
>>106805816targeted ads that sell your data are just as bad as ai
>>106805769you should ask for a refund
>>106805769how do you direct about blank to a custom tab page
>>106805769firefox rocks, trans rights are human rights
>>106805810>"wtf why did you throw literal shit in my eyes?">"you can wear protective goggles btw"
>>106806168>here's the solution>NOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!
>>106805769what kind of a dicksplash has their home page as the default Firefox page? change it tardo
>>106805810>in the future there are ads in your cybernetic eyeballs>corporate sycophantic softpedalers: yOu CaN tUrN tHeM oFf
>>106806168This.But also, who the fuck uses the Firefox default start page?
>>106806182>VE make ze problems, then blame YOU>for ze damage from everything VE do
>>106805769Did you just update your Firefox for the first time in a couple of years? That has been there for a while.While I hate ads and "sponsored content" with a passion, I also see why an organisation like Mozilla needs money - we all do. However, I don't agree with how they actually use the money they're getting.
>>106805769a trigger for autismos.oh look, it werks
It's not the fact that they include ads which irritates me - it's the manipulative language which they use.They want the user to feel like a bad person if they uncheck "Support firefox". It carries the message "if you uncheck support firefox, you don't care about building a better web, you sick fuck".Then "recommended stories" curated by the "mozilla family" is just plain marketing bullshit.They clearly don't care about the user because otherwise they'd make it an opt-in during the setup process, but instead they don't make it clear that you can disable it, so most users probably just leave it on.Manipulating your users for financial gain is fine as long as it's "to build a better web".
>>106806211as opposed to chrome, where you can't turn it off...
>>106806344you must remember you're smarter than a retardwhy do all this? it's so that they get money from retardswhat happens if they don't get the money? mozilla loses and chrome's the browser everyone will have to useat least they give the option and very plainly, if you don't read every setting of a program as important as your browser, it's your faultas long as you don't have power, you have to sacrifice, and that sacrifice is to shit on retards, not everyone will have the same freedom and enjoyment, but the barrier is something as small as reading the settings page
>>106806211retard
>>106806344How old are you? Is this the first time you’ve seen language like that?
>>106806166What non-tranny browser are you using exactly
>>106805769redpill is ESR with majority of garbage disabled in about:config
>>106805769This is why Chrome is better.
>>106805769put this line into your /etc/hosts file0.0.0.0 ads.mozilla.org normandy.cdn.mozilla.net
0.0.0.0 ads.mozilla.org normandy.cdn.mozilla.net
>>106805769>been using firefox for 20 years>uses chromium 10min for compatibility with some online service>everything is smooth, websites load quicker, everything works perfectly, discover new features on some websites> everything is customizable, tracking and ads free...it's getting harder bros ....
>>106806471I think it's useful to state the obvious, "hur durr ads bad firefox bad" is vague and meaningless. >>106806457I see what you mean. Privacy minded people are always going to check these settings anyway. Giving normies the option to choose gives them the opportunity to mindlessly reject it without *actually* caring, which benefits nobody.The problem isn't specifically Chrome or Firefox or whatever, it's more of a social problem, people lack critical thinking or simply don't give a fuck. The browsers are simply adapting to the market, like any business does, ethics don't come into it.I will always be rooting for the open-source alternatives though in the blind hope that society can recover from the downhill spiral where people are rewarded for being retarded.I am reminded of this thread which motivated me to switch away from Fedorahttps://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/TelemetryBecause of the precedent which it sets. If this is even being considered, then what other crap are they going to bundle in the future - after I'm already fully dependent on the ecosystem for my workflow? What are they going to sneak in without me noticing?

>>106805769Well, they need to raise the necessary funds to increase the CEO's salary one way or another.
>>106805810>>106806217
But still, all things considered, I'll still go with Firefox. Google has way too much of a monopoly now and they're abusing it. Like how they deliberately gimped extensions so you can't have effective adblocking anymore. Ublock origin is one of many big reasons it's worth using firefox instead of chrome
>>106805769I had different sponsors, I wonder if it is related to the country you are in.
>>106806217I do, with my shortcuts

this is why you should use brave.
>>106806471Why did you hate Firefox from 2004 to around 2020 before this was added? Does it bother you when web browsers don’t have ads?
>>106805810Until you cant
>avatarfagging in current year
>>106806520>chrome so smooth saar very better and quicking
>>106805769Nigga are you retarded?>>106807816>Right-click on an empty space on your taskbar.>From the context menu, hover over or click on the "Search" option.>In the sub-menu that appears, click on "Show search highlights" to deselect it. You could easily remove the fag flag, why are you lying?
>>106805769>the alternative is chrome with baked in tracking, brave with crypto turned on, or edge with tracking + ads + copilot bullshitfirefox won, get over it
Another win for the lion.
>>106807894Kill yourself
>>106807894The point is an operating system should not be showing a pride flag.
>>106807918Cope.
>>106807922I would rather see pride flags than deal with software that's deliberately limited in such a way as to force you to see adverts, like chrome
>>106808350I don't really care
>>106805769here's your browser bro

>>106806168>suprised by ads being in a web browser
>>106806344Exactly. I guess I'm not supporting them by downloading and using their product??
>>106806474Google Chrome, saar
>>106809680Are you suggesting that because there are ads on websites - it's common sense that there would be ads directly in the browser too?You could take it a step further - since there are ads embedded in the web browser, why not have them directly embedded into the OS? In fact, we see ads in YouTube videos, what if we started embedding them directly into the monitors? Samsung have the right idea with their new ads embedded into the refridgerator. Meta are going to turn their glasses into something like the movie "They Live". You see ads every day, why not embed them directly into your fucking eye sockets?Here, I've made a design for the optimal monitor to extract value from consumers. It utilises the 21:9 aspect ratio, but only 16:9 is the actual desktop, the rest is ads.
>used one of those custom homepage >edited it to just have common sites i use>haven't seen the default firefox homepage for yearsMaybe I should look into remaking it sometime.
This is a good basis for custom homepageshttps://github.com/glanceapp/glancehttps://github.com/glanceapp/glance/blob/main/docs/preconfigured-pages.md
>>106811485Might use that and redo my homepage.Thanks anon.
