Agree, this is what I use. Wish Kagi reverse image search was better.

Unhook is also good. https://unhook.app/

Zen Browser, it's still beta software imo but tab grouping and vertical tabs have become must-have features for me (another thing Mozilla should be working on).

I wouldn't have a problem with Mozilla doing other things if they did it well and it didn't involve them compromising on their values.

I use a Firefox fork too, but do you think it would continue to be around without Mozilla?

It's sad to see them squander an opportunity to do good work. Mozilla should have gone all-in on ethics/privacy in contrast to tech giants and made an offering like Proton. Or gone with the Wikipedia donate model like another commenter said. Any compromise on their values is insane mismanagement, that was their whole brand.

Isn't the Mozilla Foundation (non-profit org) distinct from Mozilla Corporation?

I use one of their competitors (Sleepme Ooler) but they're not great either. Did not know about aquarium chillers, that seems like a better option. Could probably pair it with Home Assistant too if you wanted to more easily set the temperature.

It also breaks support for integrating with the 1Password desktop app.

I thought it might be similar to Orion based on the submission title, but it looks like a rebranded Firefox (which is great). This is what Mozilla should be doing.

Looks like it supports Firefox extensions such as uBlock Origin as well. Surprised the website didn't mention it.

Wonder if this still applies:

What did hCaptcha do that was anti-user?

reCAPTCHA is awful. This is my experience on a daily basis if I make the mistake of trying to use it:

It's often only possible to complete with the accessibility feature or the Buster add-on.

FWIW, most of the reddit self-promo filters should be addressed by the EasyList and AdGuard annoyances lists. If not, consider submitting an issue (they're very responsive):

Bartender desperately needs to be Sherlocked. Menu bar management for third party apps on macOS is untenable without it or something similar.

They copied it a little bit, but it's very mouse oriented (option-click the green zoom button to snap windows to left/right).

Another option for this is Hammerspoon, e.g.: https://github.com/scottwhudson/Lunette

Proton Drive, Nextcloud, or iCloud Drive (all E2EE cloud storage solutions) seem like better choices than Dropbox if you're concerned enough about privacy to be using Cryptomator and Mullvad.

Another more recent one (on-demand instead of upfront downloads):

You're not obligated to listen to an ad anymore than you are obligated to buy an advertised product.

Creators will still get paid per download with this tool. If everyone does something like this (unlikely), worst case is conversion rates might be lower, which could cause advertising to become less financially viable, so content creators may have to explore other monetization options or add more advertising.

Removing ads from a podcast that offers a paid ad-free alternative feels wrong, but aside from that I don't see anything wrong with this. I'll always choose a paid version over ads.

Video/audio ads (especially TV commercial breaks) seem inherently obtrusive to me. They're hard to skip, and rarely contextual. I personally think listening to ads is generally harmful, there are better sources of information to be influenced by to make a decision.

An unobtrusive ad would imo be more like putting a link in the description, or a privacy-respecting banner on the website. I'm sure that wouldn't pay as well, though.
