THIS BITCH LIVES INSIDE A TINY BLUNT LMAO
STOP IT!!!!! NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT WEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmao at mozilla having to be like “not only did we not get rid of the fox in our logo but if all the people yelling at us actually use our browser they should have known that 🤔”
lol, i’d been wondering if i’d missed an update or something.
ANYWAY i fucking love how that firefox article discusses memes as a part of the misinformation news cycle. Good. Correct.
Also please install firefox please, i’m begging you. The reason all of your school sites and work sites and whatever can insist on only working in chrome browsers is because there’s no diversity in the browser market and you should be using firefox because it is GOOD and on almost every computer it’s going to be as fast or faster than chrome (nearly TEN YEARS AGO there was an issue with firefox being somewhat slower but that isn’t the case anymore) and the extensions are wonderful and it now has native tracker blocking and you can import all your bookmarks and
!!!!!!! There is an extension called Auto Tab Discard that sleeps tabs you haven’t looked at in a set amount of time to save your computer’s resources!!!!!
And also firefox is free and open source and it is not a giant advertising engine, like, i posted the other day about the sponsored sites thing but you can turn that off with two clicks, how much fucking effort does it take to get chrome to stop pushing fucking google products at you fuck chrome FIREFOX IS SO FUCKING GOOD PLEASE USE IT AND HELP TO BREAK GOOGLE’S NEAR MONOPOLY ON THE BROWSER MARKET
Also you can install firefox mobile on your phone and put ublock origin on it and you can block browser ads in your phone like I have no idea why everyone isn’t already doing that I haven’t seen a browser ad in fucking YEARS (you can watch youtube in your browser ad free. Why are you still looking at ads? I’m so confused)
In Conclusion Please Use Firefox.
1 - to all of the people sharing desktop computers with parents and spouses and siblings I feel you. HOWEVER! Just because your mom is using chrome doesn’t mean you have to! Your computer is almost certainly capable of running two browsers at once and if that’s slowing it down you can set firefox so that it automatically reloads all your windows and tabs after you close it
2 - Seriously just run multiple browsers if you need chrome for school or whatever then use chrome for school only and don’t give google a second more of your day than you can absolutely help.
3 - I forgot to mention how amazing multi account containers are. Basically firefox lets you create account containers like “work” and “shopping” and “personal” so I’ve got my work’s amazon account open in one tab so that the behavior and cookies from that account don’t follow me all over the internet. I’ve got three different tumblr accounts logged in right now. Read all my free articles for [insert publication i’m certainly not going to pay for *cough* the atlantic *cough*] this month? Open in new container tab. Going on Facebook (disgusting) only in facebook container.
Also here are the basic extensions I use:
- Ublock Origin - i like it better than adblock because it doesn’t whitelist ads
- Mind the time - always good to know i’ve spent four hours and forty seven minutes on tumblr and should really log off
- Multi Account Containers - See above
- Facebook container - Put facebook and facebook products in facebook jail
- Decentraleyes - keeps you from being tracked by content delivery networks (fuck google)
- Privacy Badger - prevents tracking (fuck google)
- Auto tab discard - sleeps tabs that aren’t in use; can be set to discard tabs after a certain period, saves computer resources
- HTTPS Everywhere - ensures secure connections
- Bitwarden - just a really fucking good open source password manager and the extension is great in firefox.
if you share a computer that you can’t/don’t want to keep an install of your preferred browser on you can also use the portable edition and install it on a flash drive to keep with you at all times which i do so that i can have a separate virtual desktop open at work with discord and inoreader tabs i used to use it a lot at the university library so i could access my shit without logging in to my stuff in a strange browser on a strange computer
i also use firefox’s built-in pocket integration a lot because a lot of paywalled articles you can actually just. add to pocket. and read them there in their entirety. like idk if that’s how it’s supposed to work but for most of them it works.
also xkit for firefox is a thing and so is library extension
Okay, so I agree with all of this, but can one of you Firefox fans tell me how to effectively get my job’s IT to allow me to install it on my job’s assigned Chromebook?!?
Like, I got it on my work desktop- no problem there- but that’s because it was Windows and they were like “eh, go ahead.” But remote work? Nope!
i haven’t looked at a chromebook in years but iirc the whole point is that instead of having an operating system or any actual software or local files a chromebook literally just runs chrome. it’s just all a chrome browser. so you can’t install firefox because a chrome browser is your whole operating system.
You can get Firefox on a Chromebook, although Google would really rather you didn’t so it could be easier. Mozilla has an entire page about it.
On any fully-updated Chromebook you can install the Android version of Firefox from the Google Play Store. It’s a mobile app, but depending on how you use your browser it may be good enough.
If you’re an administrator on your Chromebook you can also install the desktop version of Firefox, but it requires jumping through some hoops.
I use the trick of adding paywalled articles to Pocket ALL THE DAMN TIME. highly recommend.
