Any browsers with good built-in adblocker besides brave? I feel like firefox's built-in content filtering does the very minimum, but I might be wrong
This is the way on mobile lol. The android rom I'm using comes with a built-in systemwide blocker, which I didn't know about for a very long time, so I was very confused when I saw other people using the same apps as me and seeing ads lol.
Firefox Mobile supports most desktop extensions now, so Ublock Origin works too
Extension != built-in and some people prefer to avoid FF.
Why would anyone avoid firefox?
Because I don't like Mozilla and don't want to give them market share. And, well, because it suck badly.
Any objective reasons?
A real answer, they pay their ceo millions, and they are hiring gen ai and ads engineers.
They stopped focusing on their core web browser product
Let us introduce you to Google...
LOL, why should I justify my choices to a stranger on the internet? I don't like Mozilla. Full stop.
You didn't full stop though. It also "suck badly". I think it's reasonable to wonder what makes it suck so badly, and they merely asked.
There's some weird people with a hate boner for Mozilla and nobody knows why. I suspect they're paid by a competitor.
Having a hate boner for Mozilla is one thing. Not being willing to hold your nose and use Firefox (or at least a Gecko-based browser) anyway is another. It's the latter whom I suspect to be acting in bad faith.
What I was asking was to not completely disregard your entire opinion, like anyone who is civil should allow you to provide. This was not a hostile question which you apparently have misunderstood. Seeing "sucks badly" with no context gives me little to no reason to agree with you. But I guess you'd rather just be aggressively stubborn.
Can you quantify why you don't like Mozilla?
I understand why someone might find Firefox itself subpar in some cases, but I'd like to hear what your issues with the organization are.
Avoiding FF while supporting Chromium based browsers is just the most nonsensical moronic shit I've ever heard in the whole browser debate.
Whatever. Keep donating to Mozilla and their dying, shitty browser and leave me alone. I didn't want to start a debate.
And you keep supporting the destruction of the www.
Google will eat you up and spit you out and you will have no one to blame but yourself.
The same Google that keeps Mozilla alive? Mozilla's shills are so boring and short-minded. Just leave me alone. Nobody asked your opinion.
Why actively avoid fire Fox?
Because I don’t like Mozilla and don’t want to give them market share. And, well, because it suck badly.
Fair enough, are there any non chromium alternatives that are decent ATM? I haven't looked at alternative browsers for some time.
Why do you want Google to have hegemony over web standards?
Are you seriously implying that that 2% of FF market share is what avoids the "hegemony"? lol.
Mozilla has worked very hard to sabotage FF. I've been a loyal FF user since 2002 and finally showed them the finger in 2021, when they confirmed that they don't respect their community. They are just another corp now. So, why should I use an inferior browser from them?
I won't reply further. I didn't want to start a debate and I'm quite pissed off of Mozilla advocates.
Firefox+uBlock Origin
To my knowledge there are no browsers that have anything similar to brave built in. Ublock simply is incredibly well made (that’s what braves adblocker is based on), so I would always try to use that. Gnome web has in my experience the best built in Adblock except brave (fine for everything but YouTube). AFAIK Firefox forks can change what the built in content filter blocks, at least on librewolf some ads were missing even with ublock disabled.
Give it two more years and brave will stop backporting manifestv2, then you have even less options to avoid google deciding which content needs to be shoved in your face.
I'm using Firefox since forever. In the past I have checked a few times if a swap to chromium is worth it. It never was.
I really don't understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.
Brave shields are based on ubo, but are patched directly into chromium so they should be immune against v3. Still going to stay on Firefox, but brave is a decent backup option. https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/
Firefox objectively has poor responsiveness in some apps, hence why some "works only in chrome" banners are justified. Can't quite put my finger of it, but it got a lot worse somewhere between quantum and heartbleed(but not because of it, I checked), and it never recovered. In my own projects that were time-sensitive, like 3d games and music apps, I couldn't find the source of it, but found that while some approaches led to major performance hit on firefox, others majorly hit chromium, and vice versa, and it was all about juggling to finding an approach that doesn't hit either as hard. But in some cases there were none and so I had to choose. Obviously the browser engine with a higher market share wins. And because of that, to be on par with Chrome, Firefox not only has to be better, it has to be not worse in all cases, which is a rather tough challenge.
LibreWolf ? First thing that came up when searching for a non-chrome browser with builtin adblocker.
The term "built-in" is a bit fuzzy here. Librewolf just uses ublock origin. It's only "built-in" in the sense that it's installed automatically
Vivaldi and Opera have one, as well, but I never really used it for long.
