      Thanks for the link! I didn’t know about this study. Interesting. And not so surprising, maybe, if you followed the technical discussions that surrounded the design of MV3 at the time.

          It’s always good to have options. However as I regularly see DNS blocking recommended as an alternative to content blockers, I find it important to say they’re not playing in the same league. A content blocker like uBlock or AdGuard has much more capabilities to clean up pages. They can also remove annoying pop-ups, remnant elements, and anything that is not discernable by its host.

          A DNS blocker can’t do that, as it never even sees the content of the sites you’re viewing. To me it’s more of a last resort if I don’t have any other options on a certain device.

        Huh. I don’t know what’s happening in the corporate world but that kinda surprises me given chrome has way higher market share and generally the most traveled path is the easiest. And they’re the same thing under the hood

        I’m curious why

          Since Edge adopted Chromium, there’s no reason not use it from an IT perspective. It’s one less program we have to deploy to new machines. Built-in apps that get the job done have an inherent advantage in an enterprise environment.

          We do also support Chrome and Firefox and allow users to download them from our company portal. But the vast majority never do these days. They can’t tell the difference between Edge and Chrome. As of last week, I think we only have about 50 users with Chrome installed and less than 10 with Firefox.

          This is in an org with ~6000 workstations deployed.

          Default for win 11. Office 365 integrated. “Paying for it anyway, might as well use it”.

              I’m probably wrong, but office 365 should be fully digital now and opening it on PC is likely just opening a browser webpage. They built a whole thing around the edge webview, so it’s all one big unhappy family you can’t be rid of.

      A gentle reminder that Mozilla is actively using user data for AI modeling and Firefox (the compiled browser) is no longer considered Open Source but source available.

      Consider Ironfox or, my personal choice, waterfox as compatible alternatives.

          They left Firefox (the source code) to still be MPL and then changed their compiled code to a proprietary “Terms of Use” license.

          The terms of use allow Mozilla to terminate this license “at any time for any reason, including if Mozilla decides not to offer Firefox anymore” which goes against a core tenant of OSS of not restricting anyone’s ability to use the software.

      Good old Firefox. You were here before Chrome and you’re still the better option.

    Over the next few months, MV2 extensions will be gradually turned off by default. Users will be notified in advance and directed to recommended MV3 versions where available.

    These changes will start in the Canary, Dev, and Beta channels and gradually broaden to Stable in the following months, with the goal of completing the consumer transition by the end of 2026. Managed devices will not be affected during the consumer rollout. Enterprise deprecation will follow in early 2027.

    And I use neither… I so love my Firefox
