Let’s travel back to when memes were new, anyone could get their 15 minutes with a silly dance, and the amount of data tech companies collected about you was slightly less creepy. Mozilla reunited some of the biggest names in late ‘aughts memedom for its “come back to Firefox” campaign. [Media: https://youtu.be/E2AoYIKwJqM]

    Several Chromium browsers have native adblocking built in at this point. No extensions required.

      Which is great, for sure. But, additionally, I’m unwilling to go back to a single engine ecosystem, especially not one with Google’s hands on it. I still remember coding around IE6. 😅

        Google funds Firefox so it has their hands on it anyway. And Mozilla has proven to be a poor steward of Firefox anyway. I’m just not so sure one is better than the other anymore.

        They do. It works exactly the same.

            It’s not impossible. mv3 pertains to extensions and, as I said, it’s not an extension, it’s built natively into the browser.
