thanks but i'm sticking with ublock origin

Firefox's biggest problem is its memory leaks, not this. We already have uBO.

>>108671778
I already installed ubo though. Isn't that the best one?

>>108671778
Jealous troonfox users are seething about it on R*dd*t kek

point of this when I already use ublock?

>>108671796
What's with the Firefox memory leak posts on /g/? I've been using this browser since like 2018 and never had a memory leak on with it.

>>108671800
It is, but this one will be decent for normies that cannot into addons ig.

>never had a memory leak on with it.
You definitely have. You just don't know how to check for it and it hasn't impacted you.

>>108671832
ublock literally makes it faster because it blocks bloated tracking webslop adware

>>108671868
the process of blocking content on pages is not free, even uBlock has an option to disable (generic) cosmetic filtering as it can be expensive on slower machines

>>108671868
and brave's adblock makes it even faster because it's not written in javascript

>>108671850
if you're being slightly serious, this is tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2013888 and you can view the commit history of this feature at https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commits/main/toolkit/components/content-classifier as well as the code at https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/tree/main/toolkit/components/content-classifier

>>108671885
>it can be expensive on slower machines
It's an issue on laptops and phones too, since it drains even more battery on top of FF being unoptimized compared to Chromium.
>>108671898
Yeah, JavaScript is dogshit.

IMPORTANT QUESTION; Does this mean that they will eventually phase out MV2 and kill off uBO? It seems that they're doing this to appease a lot of people so they stop using uBO and eventually Mozilla kills off MV2.

>>108671927
They're obviously going to get rid of MV2, but you can still use uBlock Origin Lite if you don't want to use the integrated adblocker for whatever reason.

>>108671927
Gorhill is kinda autistic like Stallman, he refuses to improve uBO Lite and add custom filtering even though MV3's limitations have been relaxed.

does brave like this? i understand that they're normally opposed to open source contributions and presumably mozilla will be wanting to contribute

>>108672013
Brave's CEO is secretly a furry and wants Kit's non-binary pussy. I'm sure he's fine with it.

This is the sad truth I had to face recently. Turns out the firefox memory hog was caused by ubO all along, unironically

>>108672098
If you are opening thatmany tabs, you really ought to disable fission.

>>108671813

Well there's your reason. You just haven't noticed.

During the good ol' Win XP days, Firefox was notorious for memory leaks.

>>108671832
Still works for me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>>108671948
unlike chrome, firefox ported the adblocking api to mv3. full ubo is possible for firefox's mv3.

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/firefox-manifest-v3-adblockers/
>Google began phasing out Manifest V2 last year and plans to end support for extensions built on it by mid-2025. That change has real consequences: Chrome users are already losing access to uBlock Origin, one of the most popular ad blockers, because it relies on a Manifest V2 feature called blockingWebRequest.
>Google’s approach replaces blockingWebRequest with declarativeNetRequest, which limits how extensions can filter content. Since APIs define what extensions can and can’t do inside a browser, restricting certain APIs can limit what types of extensions are possible.
>Firefox, however, will continue supporting both blockingWebRequest and declarativeNetRequest — giving developers more flexibility and keeping powerful privacy tools available to users.

>>108672342
I wonder if ungoogled chromium could use Firefox's implementation of MV3.
There was some talk of them possibly supporting Brave's ad-blocker. Not sure how that went. uBlock Origin still running on the latest version for me when I think it was meant to die last year if nothing changed.

>>108671800
>>108671811
From Waterfox's github issue (they were doing their own implementation then saw Mozilla do the same and went with Mozilla's implementation):
https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/4182
>This is the important bit, as one advantage is performance (albeit there may be negligible differences in real life) - WebExtensions use the webRequest API, which only sees requests that pass through Gecko's network layer. Resources served from internal caches are completely invisible to extensions. Because the blocker uses native nsIContentPolicy integration, it sees every load regardless of cache state.

>There are a few other advantages worth noting: The engine deserialises from an on disk cache synchronously at startup, so it's ready before the first request arrives, there's no race window where ads slip through while an extension is still initialising, it runs in-process with direct Rust FFI calls, so there's none of the IPC overhead you get with WebExtension content scripts talking to a background page and because it can modify response headers directly, CSP injection works properly, which the webRequest API doesn't permit under Manifest V3.

>>108672384
no, ungoogled chromium is a few one-line patches. totally out of scope for them.

>>108672307
They shut down the nuclear power plant quite a few years back, so that shouldn't be an issue

>>108672261
That's why I'm here

>>108671832

What does that mean?

>>108671796
Literally just install auto tab discard

>>108671778
I think this is basically it for the Brave Browser if true. Why would I run brave spyware if I can just enable Brave adblock in a decent browser?

>>108671826
jealous beacuse they have spent the last 10 years they have been pushing that Brenden Eich is a chud who deserves NO JUSTIF NO PEAF in public, and brave and every project he manages needs to be closed down and him arrested. This goes back to the first release of brave that had troonfox users trying to ddos the servers it was hosted on.

Years later Mozilla just admits that it lost the war and people would rather use brave with adblock than it, this is effectively Mozilla raising the white flag and admitting Eich was right all along, and the die-hard supporters are being assblasted like never before over it.

I'll stick to unblock origin so it's a worthless feature for me

>>108673421
>unblock
ublock, fucking autocorrect

>>108671778
90% of ads and trackers are already blocked by my PiHole. The shit that would make it through gets blocked by UBO. Definitely feel indiffierent to that.

if task manager is showing 300 firefox instances, I think that means he has that many windows open, so most likely waaaaay more than 300 tabs

Blocking adds by default is going to ruin a lot of things.
We need non-adblocking retards to keep feeding the sites and services.

>>108671813
I heard there is or was a memory leak in Firefox's accessibility features, but I've never noticed it myself.

>>108671778
As long as I can turn it off I don't care. uBO is so much more powerful that it's not even funny.

>>108671778
Sounds fine to me. Brave is the best phone browser, sorry guys. It's way faster than firefox and plays jewtube in the background, even with the screen off. I prefer firefox on desktop though. Brave's adblock is breddy alright, I don't have any hard data on it vs ubo but it seems to do good enough.

>>108673219
You can just install the real version of uBlock Origin on Firefox...

Does Brave adblock deal 99% of the time just fine with youtube and twitch ads?
Those are the primary sources of pain for me if I don't have uBlock Origin around. I never want to deal with youtube ads, and youtube has been very fucking aggressive at pushing ads and fucking with ad blockers. I'm not switching to anything less effective, I don't care it has better performance given I have a machine that can deal with it.

Unneeded bloat when we have ubo. I'd rather they focus on fixing the browser, making it more efficient/less memory-intensive and stop fucking with privacy.

does ublock work on twitch now? last i checked you needed a userscript

>>108675470
if it doesn't then i can't understand how i haven't seen an advertisement there in years.

I used Firefox for a looooong time. But the iPhone app is dogshit. Brave has free adfiltering everywhere and it takes no setup. The iPhone app is also just better in general. Yes I am using chrome hahah whatever. I use what works.

>>108671778
it's a win, mostly because built in blocker is more trust worthy (as it won't steal and sell ur data) than third party one

>>108675470
It should. At least I have no userscripts and if I disable uBlock origin it'll show twitch ads, and if I enable it they're gone.

>>108675568

Mozilla anything on Apple anything is misery.
Firefox on macOS doesn't know what to do with framerate so you have to actually manually set something equivalent to multiple times what your screen is capable of rendering, or you get a lot of frameskipping and smooth scrolling is absolutely terrible.

hopefully it will also come to the iOS browser
i dont even use iOS but Firefox because so bad on it is one of several reasons why I'd never switch to an iPhone

why not use brave right away?
firefox is slow as shit anyway

Something that you don't need an extension for, it runs directly into the browser.
Extensions run using the browser's interpreter, it reads the extension's code, it then runs it on the tabs you have open.
All of this does not happen if it's implemented directly into the browser.

>>108674061

>>108671778
Pretty cool, I've been pretty jaded with Mozilla and Firefox, they went off the deep end with some pretty batshit insane decisions for their brand like abandoning their biggest social media (X) in favour of BlueSky that's now dead, just because X is owned by a bad person billionaire (as opposed to YouTube,... and Mozilla's default search engine sponsor, and their LinkedIn account by Microsoft, and uh.. IG account by Meta's Zuccboy, all good people of course.), showing they've been infiltrated by biased people who prioritize flavour of the month politics over long term project health, the performance regressions, their conflict with Gorhill causing uBO Lite to get removed from Mozilla store, the issues with terms of service removing privacy promises, the problems with AI stuff getting added and causing performance regressions, the steady drop in user numbers. It's not looking good. Hopefully the people in charge start cleaning up the mess, removing the bad faith actors from the company and fixing Firefox/Mozilla's reputation step by step, embracing taking it to the man by adding support for Brave's secure and regularly maintained rust-based adblock is pretty nice. I just hope it doesn't mean they plan to get rid of MV2 and uBO support.

This os great, you dont have to ruin your fingerprint with extensions now and tor can have it too.
