#use firefox

In case you wanted a really simple illustration of how AI-generated results are poisoning the accuracy of search engines. (Also worth mentioning I didn't get this on DuckDuckGo, my default engine with Firefox. Not anywhere in the first page of results.)

annoyed with the assumption that all younger ppl use google (even in uni). Like no I don't want to use the mega giant that fucking steals every aspect of you ffs plus everything about its operation is terrible. Give me some boolean operator advanced search proquest shit and promote information literacy

Okay so I've tried to switch to Firefox many times, but each time i download the launcher, go through the installation process, and then open the browser it just immediately closes again. I've tried to find the problem, but nothing I've done seems to be working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Using chrome sucks but my computer doesn't want to switch.

So, I found this video via @hirosensei reblogging that post about the change in web browser use over the years, and I felt it deserved its own post, because holy crap, Google's basically using dirty tricks to try and hoodwink us into giving them a monopoly, that's fucked up.

loving late stage web 2.0

tumblr - needs three bespoke extension and a theme installed via a fourth to be configured how i like

twitter - needs an extension to use the old theme to undo the dumbass rebrand

youtube - only able to watch videos without being logged in because i refuse to not use adblock

reddit - have been using the old reddit option for 6 years and i'm genuinely astonished they haven't arbitrarily gotten rid of it yet

instagram - i fucking refuse to log into it on my desktop cause facebook loves tracking shit (firefox has an addon that auto-contains it but still)

Having to use Chrome to get a website to play nice with accepting a payment/order is a spiritual equivalent of pretending to be straight at a family gathering.

guy who installs firefox and ublock origin on mobile

guy who installs an adblocker and forgets about it and lives in a beautiful world where online ads have become much less frequent

my computer broke (rip) so I’ve been borrowing my sisters and I’m so used to my Firefox/ad blockers that I go onto hers with all it’s Microsoft edge capitalism glory and I’m like “damn bitch you live like this???”

[enbygunderson]

Fucking hate how every post critical of Chrome is full of smooth-brains crowing "just use firefox!!!" No. I stopped using firefox because that browser would slow my computer to a CRAWL for no fucking reason. Unless they've actually put some effort into fixing that in the last couple of years, I'm not interested.
