• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

Since version 120 is coming to mobile soon with about 200 extensions (as mentioned in the article), can anyone recommend some good extensions that are newly added? I have ublock origin, HD YouTube, Google search fixer, clear url fixer, dark reader, privacy badger, and ghostery

You can also drop ClearURLs filter. Better filters that are more up to date exists exists on uBlock like Adguard URL Tracking Protection and Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool.

I wasn't aware. It really seems like uBlock origin can do everything I had all those extra extensions for! Pretty impressive

[–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It's really a powerful tool that helps to keep the Web tidy and sane.

What amazes me is how much of the web is practically unusable without it... And yet the majority of users don't have it
