I am mostly into tech topics and I also follow current events and politics (Canada and USA) to some degree. Every so often I have a day where I boost a lot or make a few posts, and if you decide to criticize me for that I WILL block you. I can at times be quite opinionated, but I am willing to consider opposing views and long as you don’t attack me or try to censor what I’m saying. If you do either of those things I will probably either double down on what I said, or just block you outright.

    @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social You keep saying this but what is the option if you want a browser that looks and works like (past versions of) Firefox and you don’t want to have problems accessing sites, and you want to keep using all your Firefox extensions? Don’t say LibreWolf because a lot of sites won’t work with it (due in part to their overly aggressive privacy measures, that maybe can be disabled but only if you know how). As far as I can tell, every alternative people are suggesting has some drawback - some are major and some just really annoying.

    But also, if the issue is Firefox grabbing data of some kind and selling it, isn’t there some way to prevent that data from being transmitted to Mozilla, perhaps using something like PiHole or uBlock Origin? All the techie types think just switching browsers is a solution but for many users that’s a whole lot easier said than done, and none of the alternatives seem really great.
