Edge on (android, not sure about iOS) mobile has “Adblock Plus” built in that can be enabled. Sure, I’d rather UBlock Origin like on my pc but when/if that stops working on Edge desktop, I wonder if they’d add a similar built in thing to desktop…
As long as this doesn’t impact Firefox, I don’t care…
The problem is they have the lion’s share of users, so they can force websites to adhere to their policies and those sites will stop working in FF.
Google is the source of most of the funding to Firefox. Can go 100 to 0 anytime basically
For anyone who thinks they’re “stuck” with chrome, Firefox has gotten it’s shit together massively in the last few years.
Which is why Google’s next step is to effectively require chromium browsers for any websites wanting access to Google services and products.
Feels bad but I can’t condone this behaviour anymore and I feel ashamed that I haven’t seen the greed Google is capable of doing.
In the coming months I will do my best to migrate away from the Google system, even if I end up paying a tad more, maybe just in time to set up a home server for photos.
