Why does it get so much hate? I just use it because it's what my parents used growing up. It works fine for me and I've never had issues with ads or YouTube detecting an adblocker when I use it with Ublock origin. But I see a lot of people online really don't like it, why?

Your parent should have used more contraception growing up.

Because some people think that 'that web browser is literally Jesus because of how weebs and trannies represent it on this board.
It's literally just another web browser except it still allows uBlock Origin (so does Chrome but it's too hard for people to add a custom run command) and you can do a custom CSS of the UI, that's pretty much it.
Kind of the same thing with Windows / Linux on this board, it's ok to spend 2h customizing Linux but it's not ok to spend 1h configuring Windows, stuff like that.

No kidding, my older sister was an accident born 6 months after my parents got married. I was actually the only kid out of 3 that was planned.

Something I forgot to mention is that some Linux distros are switching from shipping with Firefox to stuff like Brave. Why?
>>
>>107620456
Brave is easier to use for the average joe, normies have a hard time configuring anything.
>>
>>107620449
What kind of a parent even reveals something like that to their children
>>
>>107620480
Mine I guess.
>>
>>107620478
Brave is also sold to Palantir

>>107620553
Doesn't matter, Firefox is like 80% owned by Google.
No browser is perfect, no browser/corpo respects you.
>>
>>107620571
Yeah but at least FF has its own rendering engine, which probably makes them the most independent "maintream" browser

>why does the only browser that fully supports blocking ads gets so much hate on an internet entirely flooded by bots controlled by the same companies who depend on those ads
I have no idea, it's a complete mystery, we might never figure it out.
>>
>>107620411
only rare individuals even understand what a browser is and what it does
very similar to cars, everyone has their opinion about the steering wheel shape and the coffee holder, but barely anyone understands even the basics of how the engine works and what really matters
at least most will just tell you they have no idea, but you will always have the insufferable midwits like >>107620441 who you should completely ignore
if you have used anything but firefox in the past 20 years, you simply have no clue and should just shut the fuck up

Honestly you people should all become cock suckers.

That's a lot of words to just call yourself retarded.

Nobody actually hates it it's all just paid Indian shills. Notice how it's always Brave and never Chromium getting shilled?

Mozilla removes features people use, and implement crap no one asked for. Now they want it to be pure AI app, not a web browser.

use chrome to get a feel for how far it has fallen.
