Passed over the rainbow bridge.

I’ll tell my rainbow pets to welcome him. Spoil him good.

Getting that download to 95% and a phone call coming in…

I want off this timeline.

I assumed this might have been a late 90s article about the “dangers” of internet addiction.

It was from fucking 2015. I really really hope it was satire.

Only because EVERYONE knows he uses makeup and has insanely bad hair. It’s just a meme at this point. This is something new at least.

100% my first thought. Old people bruise like hell with even the best IV tech. How does anyone get a bruise there from a handshake?

His brain literally broke trying to change up the mental gymnastics.

The We Bare Bears creator is directing this. I’m in.

I personally never found one that worked well. I never sprang for the LR3, but I went through several others, and they all sucked.

One tweak I was talking about is changing the user agent, which is absolutely something Firefox users on here and many platforms talked about doing to rectify changes that broke some functionality.

At the end of the day, the focus of my post was that Firefox (and most browsers) need addons to block ads and options to increase privacy. That’s not a good/bad thing, just a different thing.

Brave is an out of the box turn key solution that requires no additional anything to do it. Again, not a good/bad thing, just a different thing.

Neither of those last 2 statements are false. Use Brave, use Firefox, hell, use Edge if you like it, and it works for you. I know what works for me.

I have a double luck story.

A near fatal car accident just a few months ago. Guy ran a red light at close to 100mph. They were racing someone. I was turning onto the highway and they came within a literal inch of slamming into me. While swerving out of the way, they proceeded to fishtail across several lanes, cross back in front of me, head off the highway down into a ditch, graze a tree, get catapulted about 20 feet in the air coming out of the ditch and then miss about 8 trees while sliding across 50 yards of field stopping within a foot of slamming front first into another tree. Dude walked out of the car like nothing happened, not a scratch.

If I had been just 1 second earlier to the intersection, he would have slammed into me with almost a 100% likelihood of them dying and myself close to it.

Alex Jones is claiming he’s done with Trump.

Shut 'er down. The best stick has been found.

Tinkering - I remember when the ad blocking addons stopped working due to a Google change. Everyone hopped on the webs to see what to do next. Edits and tricks to make Firefox look like Google to the web page, which was needed to make it work again. I was just over here with Brave carrying on like nothing happened.

Firefox compatibility- Even users in this post say they have a backup browser when Firefox doesn’t work.

Look, I’m not here evangelizing an imperfect browser. I’m also not sitting here arguing anyone’s choice in browsers. I use what works for me. I just wanted to clarify some statements made that weren’t correct. The Firefox vs anything else debate is as loaded as Linux vs anything else. Everyone argues and claims their software package is the end all be all when it just doesn’t fit 100% of use cases. I use what works for me. When a better alternative comes along, I will gladly look at it.

Like I stated earlier, 3rd party testing places Brave at the top of almost any fingerprinting/ad blocking/tracking/privacy metrics tested. It might not be the product you like, that’s fine, but you can’t deny the testing that proves it works.

I don’t hate on Firefox, far from it. I think it’s great for those who don’t mind extra layers of tinkering/having control on how the browser uses it’s privacy functions. Firefox, unfortunately, isn’t 100% web compatible, and almost every fox user has some form of Chromium as a backup. The discussion about web standards ignoring Chromiuim alternatives are valid, but I feel that’s an entirely different discussion.

About the addons and stuff breaking, I constantly see posts about this adblock isn’t working because Chrome broke something, this addon is no longer updated, google broke this so that addon doesn’t work. That’s the issue with using 3rd party tools, you have to rely on the tool AND browser to work together, and not break with updates or changes. You also have to trust both the browser AND the tool to keep your info safe and private.

Brave hasn’t had even a hiccup in it’s adblocking/privacy features with all the changes Chrome is implementing, due to how Brave is built. I just want a browser with strong, baked in privacy and adblocking that works out of the box. Brave is that solution at this time.

By the way, you seem focused on Firefox, I’m not attacking Firefox, I’m calling out every browser that needs addons to create a more secure and private browsing experience.

Cats out of the bag, good luck.
