Firefox users used to be the power user crowd, but "hardly anybody uses that feature so we removed it" changed all that. Nowadays Firefox users are little more than ideological contrarians.

Container tabs, real ublock origin, and an API that truly supports privacy extensions. Enjoy chrome and all the ads and tracking: https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/27/google_chrome_manifes...

Ideological contrarian? Seriously? Grow up.

I use mostly Firefox to support tech diversity on the web. (Also because it works for my use. So would Chrome/Chromium. I wouldn't use either if it didn't.)

I don't think that makes me an "ideological contrarian". That would mean opposing something just to oppose, and that's not why I'm doing it.

I guess "being able to block ads on the platform on which I do 50% of my browsing" is my ideology, yup.

Why do you do 50% of your browsing on Firefox?

I do 100% of my browsing on firefox, but half of it is on firefox mobile. If i used chrome, that mobile portion would not have adblocking.
