General Discussion • Re: Firefox 149 bundles content-blocking engine adblock-rust

I think when Mozilla gives up on Manifest V2, either some FX forks will keep v2 or a surge of people will be downloading Goanna browsers.

Honestly, I think you're overestimating the so-called "principles" of these people. Remember that recently Mozilla introduced a new Term of Use for Firefox and everybody complained, but nothing changed. More recently, they added AI crap to the browser, and same thing.

Of course, it certainly would be handy if a surge of people came to the UXP world, though.

Off-topic: I was kind of foreseeing this scenario when I amicably remarked to the devs here how it could be hard for a "normal" PC user (not you or me) to find and install an ad blocker for Pale Moon or Basilisk. Got my mouth shut real quick then. Obviously, I was misinterpreted, partially, I think, because I don't know how to express myself in english very well, and because people have a hard time reading nowadays.
