Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Helium and other Chromium derivatives still support it, so this title isn’t entirely accurate.
Sadly vanilla FF has embraced AI slop and set Google as their default search engine, show ads until you disable the function etc. So i guess the moral of the story is to not use default browsers.
Would Mozilla even exist without all the Google money over the years?
I switched back to Firefox vanilla after years of Chrome. Can you, or other power users, suggest alternate versions of FF/ other plugins more advanced or useful than Ublock? I haven’t had the time/energy to dig for it and would appreciate an upgrade path to get me up to date with privacy and more advanced ad blocking.
Thanks!
You don’t really need anything else. Frankly, the guy you’re replying to is being a whiny bitch about this. FF + uBlock is plenty - all you have to do is spend 60 seconds configuring it.
Toggle FF’s AI killswitch to the “enabled” option, set your default search engine to whatever you prefer, and turn on uBlock’s “annoyances” list. That’s it.
I like the Zen browser, its really unique but pretty cool
If you’re looking for a FF derivative then LibreWolf as folk below suggested. Otherwise I’d highly recommend Helium – chromium based so compatibility is better, and it’s just a batteries included ungoogled chromium, meaning it’s completely (?) degoogled.
Librewolf is your best bet for privacy and security. I like zen too though
LibreWolf has been my go-to for a few years now, highly recommend
QoL extensions I use on top of uBlock:
“Major Browser”
