    Tinkering - I remember when the ad blocking addons stopped working due to a Google change.

    once again, and I wont repeat this anymore: this did not affect firefox. only the google controlled chrome.

    Edits and tricks to make Firefox look like Google to the web page,

    I don’t understand what you mean here. there is no need to make firefox look like “google”

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

    yes, because certain corporate software’s developers not only fail to test with anything but chrome, but they use non-standard web APIs that only chrome has implemented, and nothing else.

    and before I need to repeat this point of mine too: this is not firefox being not web compatible, but chrome being not web compatible.

    Look, I’m not here evangelizing an imperfect browser.

    that I see, you are instead here to speak false statements with such certainty as an LLM does

      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 don’t know when did I do that last time, but it was years ago. there are some snowflake services like ms teams that need this, unfortunately, but again, that’s because teams is not developed to web standards, it is developed for chrome.

        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.

        that’s fair. but above, you were spouting false statements en masse, possibly discouraging people from firefox. despite not risking to have ad blockers by default, I can confidently say that firefox allows more comprehensive filtering without tweaks, and with stability.
