Google had a plan called “Project NERA” to turn the web into a walled garden

The "new" Firefox Mobile is a joke... they blocked thousands of extensions... Now only about 12 extensions total are available. I still use Firefox mobile v68.11.0esr even if unsupported.

Yeah, I was pissed when they did that. Though, excepting uMatrix, it has all the extensions I use daily.

I use about 15 extensions... less then half are available. Over the years Mozilla has removed many features from Firefox that I was using but this one has me looking at alternate browsers.

Also... their excuse for removing features over the years was the presence of extensions... I think that they get too much money from Google.
