>>108968831>Anyone else remember just opening your web browser and browsing websites?Literally nothing changes. LibreWolf and Brave have an adblocker pre-installed and you don't need anything else.
>>108968936>ai slop browsersmeh
I opened up firefox and it worked just fine
>>108968831You only need a properly configured FF + uBO and the rest that you wrote is irrelevant.Even Brave + uBO would work but you would have to heavily debloat Brave or use Brave Origin.>Anyone else remember just opening your web browser and browsing websites?No because pop-ups and ADs were unironically worse in 2006 to like 2012, modern AD-blockers made you forget how bad it was.
>Extensions to make managing posting on 4Chan (kill yourself) not impossibleBuy a pass.
>>108969087I'd rather never come online ever again than touch (((brendan eich)))'s AI infested shitty browsers (both failfox and brave)
>>108969109We're not a nazi board on /g/, we judge technology by its technical merits not by who wrote it. Firefox is probably older than you are and will probably outlive us both
>>108968831>complaining about being able to tweak shitFuck off.
>>108969078>t. retard
>>108969082tpbp
>>108969109Okay schizo, you can use Librewolf or Helium then.
>>108968831When money gets involved
>>108969091As a pass holder, it's not worth it. Israel gives this site enough money to keep running.
>>108969228lets see that capcode
>>108968831>open up web browser like good old days>browser window completely gets engulfed in ads, banners, spam, shit that overlaps everything you're trying to view>computer starts schizo'ing out because some ad apparently has a script that injects slopware in the backgroundI don't give a shit what anyone says. I'm using ad-blockers because of this invasive shit these faggots keep advocating>30 second unskippable ad just to watch a 45 second videogo fuck yourself.
>>108969114lel I was 12 when kikezilla was first released
>>108969136>>108969197but Vivaldi already exists :)
>>108969087Where is the definitive guide for locking down Firefox?
>>108969620You go into about:config and read, same with Settings.If you need a base guideline search for Arkenfox.
>>108969126>"being able to" is the same as "required for basic operation"
>>108968831no one's stopping you from using stock chromium and just browsing sites as the site admin presents it you're complaining about choices people give you to improve your experience which is retarded
>>108968831>dark modefag
>>108969284You completely failed to discern the point of the thread.
>>108969523So you're 36 then
>>108968831>a general tool needs extensions or modifications to be useful in a specific contextWhoa...
>>108969963>light bright modemasochistic faggotry
>>108968831>He doesn't remember when your parents would install 30 search bars on the browser and blame it on you>He doesn't remember when ads were pop up windows that played sound and dodged your mouse trying to click the close button only to open another ad>He doesn't remember when you needed to go to page 10 to find the thing you were looking forThe Internet has always been shit.
>>108970819dark mode fucks up your eyes more and lowers your test
>>108970845Do you have any evidence for this claim
>>108970845It does not and that wouldn't even be logical. Straining your eyes and making them hurt by looking at a bright screen is obviously not a good thing.
>>108970845As someone who got into the bad habit of siting in a dark room for 6 years semi-regularly and using dark mode I can confirm my eyesight is now shit Not just in focus but everything feels too dark now I should have listened to my parents saying I'll wind up like coal miners
>>108969229show yours first
>>108969091>pay to post on a website full of bots and shillscouldn't be me
>>108970951OK so no then
>>108970976He literally just did
>>108968936> nothing changesI remember the controversy of allowing fuzzbusters—the average housewife ain’t gonna have one.It’s like the average facebook user is going to keep on keeping on with chrome
>>108968831>steam workshop updooots it's website>it randomly crashes when scrolling>since it's a spa the crash wipes the screen and shows an error text
>>108969087yeah popunders used to make a new tiny hidden window trying to avoid being closed lol, that was when everything started going to shit, social media was thriving and forums dying, so sad
>>108969087>No because pop-ups and ADs were unironically worse in 2006 to like 2012,DO YOU REMEMBER
>>108970865He used darkmode once and then realized he was trans and assumes everyone else is gay too
>>108968831>Anyone else remember just opening your web browser and browsing websitesNo I wasn't born in the 1900s I've been using an adblocker for as long as I've been alive.
>>108970812nice elementary math skills
>>108972083I don't know if this is some kind of gotcha, but it's accurate.
>>108969078>i want everything to be done for me without fiddling with anything >no not like that!
>>108971322The adware was considered a malwareToday it's considered ad supported app and they are even have a ransom "pay for the adfree experience"
there was once a web browser that let you block urls, set custom css, set custom javascript without having to install any extensions.it was opera presto.
>>108972735Nothing you just said made any sense or is a coherent reply to my post.
>>108970819Don't run your screen at maximum brightness, retard.
>>108969620install Waterfox
>>108973124It doesn't matter what brightness you run at, your eyes will adjust to it and the white background will be the brightest thing in your field of view. Before about 2013 pure white was not used for backgrounds partially for this reason but that was the wear web devs became designers and designers became UI/UX, hence the present.
>>108969284I disable my adblocker on 4gay and a handful of other sites because the ads are unobtrusive and it helps keep the site afloat.Also, if you are watching ads on youtube, you only have yourself to blame. I'm always surprised when I am reminded of the fact that other people have this problem. Maybe don't use chrome shit
>>108973124Lower brightness + dark mode is kino
>>108973269>Before about 2013 pure white was not used for backgrounds partially for this reasonWhat a load of shit. Every office program after the text mode area used a white background as the "paper".
>>108973458>areaera*
>>108973458Finish the sentence you quoted
>>108973469The rest of the partially quoted sentence doesn't change anything.
>>108968831browsers got "better", sites got predatory>When exactly did the internet get so awful?when corpos found out how much money they could make
>>108969949>"being able to" is the same as "required for basic operation" is the same as “tinkertrannying a hammer”
>>108973487It does contextually but ok
>>108968831>>Dark mode to prevent eye strain>Anyone else remember just opening your web browser and browsing websites? When exactly did the internet get so awful?so do you want dark mode or not?
>>108968831The Internet used to be text with hyperlinks and some images. They kept adding so much more shit to websites the browser now needs to be a full operating system.I built a minimalist Linux setup, then realized it's pointless because I have to have a browser open all the time and eat up all my resources anyway
>>108973458Yes the paper was white but the background of the entire software was not. It was at worst light grey.
