Quit Firefox Today

I just quit using Firefox today.

They added a new blurb at the bottom of a blank Firefox page.

It said: "We have a lot of work to do to dismantle systemic racism. One way to start is by listening to Black writers and thought leaders."

Then it had a link to "resources".

https://blog.getpocket.com/2020/07/what-were-reading-the-fight-for-racial-equity-justice-and-black-lives/?utm_source=desktop-snippet&utm_medium=snippet&utm_campaign=pocket-q3-2020&utm_term=23824&utm_content=REL

Of course none of the "resources" were black writers we know who disagree with the ideology and premises of "Black Lives Matter" and the Marxists backing them.

For now I will use Brave.

Yes.

Palemoon is a fork of the pre-new-UI of Firefox and uses the old Xul extensions but those are harder to find these days (though you can still find them - you have to go to the individual websites to do so). I like palemoon a lot but it’s getting long in the tooth.

Brave is based on Google’s chromium back end (but has no google tracking) and you can use any of the extensions in the google store. (go to menu - extensions - click on web store)
Brave has built in privacy and ad-blocking though I also use an extension called ScriptSafe which acts like NoScript did for FireFox - there’s also uOrigin for chrome too.
Brave also goes out of their way to try to stop the Youtube ads too!
brave.com/download

Brave was started by the lead developer at Firefox after he was ousted from Firefox because he donated to prop 8 in California to stop gay marriage!

I switched to Palemoon which was a fork of an older firefox version which I love (and the developer refused to put up a BLM notice on his site when demanded) but it still uses XUL extensions which are increasingly no longer being supported so it’s losing supportability.

After some playing around I moved to Brave.

Many paywalls won’t give you the story even if you turn off your adblocker.

The paywall tool gets around paywalls. Different idea.

Just updated and don’t see any messages. You might have one of those boxes under options checked causing that.

I quit FireFox two years ago. I mostly use Opera, but added Pale Moon and WaterFox to try and have Edge which came with machine. Brave is another I intent to download to try. I also abandoned Chrome.

Try “White writers and thought leaders” in the google image search and see what comes up.
