Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?

Jump

  • Both Vivaldi and Brave have working adblockers on iOS while Firefox does not. This is not WebKit's fault, shouldn't be an issue for Firefox mobile developers to implement.

    • You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how

  • Thanks! Too bad the Orion browser won't sync history & other stuff with Firefox.

  • iOS already allows adblocker features for 3rd party browsers. Both Vivaldi and Brave have working adblockers, but Firefox does not.

  • I know mate, but this isn't about installing extensions. Both Vivaldi and Brave have built-in adblockers in their iOS versions. That is not prevented or restricted by Apple.

  • Yep, I wish Firefox stepped up in this matter, since their competition can implement decent adblockers on iOS, while dealing with the exact same limitations Apple has set.

  • Is the uBlock Origin Lite TestFlight app only for Safari or is it system wide?

    I'd love to benefit from it while using Firefox on iOS.

    • Do you keep your phone in your right or your left pocket?

    Jump

  • I keep my phone in my right pocket and keys in the left pocket. I started this habit in high school in 1998 when I got my first phone and just have carried the habit along, it is the most convenient for me.

    • Is There a Decentralized Media Hosting platform for the Fediverse, similar to Imgur?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the suggestion!

    • Friendica is a great fediverse alternative to Facebook

  • Thanks! I'm sure I will, it'll probably just take some time. :)

    • The bots are among us.

    Jump

  • Awesome, happy to see your trick worked!

    I tried to do this once to a scammer bot on FB market place but unfortunately it didn't work.

    • How transferable is this account that I'm posting from across the fediverse?

    Jump

  • I've been wondering about this myself at times. Currently I have an account on Mastodon, an account on Pixelfed, an account on Friendica etc.

    I follow these accounts across the federated services and I can for example boost my Pixelfed pictures for my Mastodon community to see.
