hey instead of bullying or scaring you into switching to firefox, let me tell you why i LOVE firefox and how my online life has improved significantly since installing it
- the setup process is easy, and even fun! if you’re using tumblr rn, you can handle it, and if you’re the kind of tumblr user who likes customizing your blog or tinkering with xkit, you can have a lot of fun personalizing really granular settings and picking themes and extensions and everything, it’s very customizable and i happily spent like 2 hours getting everything perfect.
- you can use a command line entry tool to change specific settings right from the search bar! i did this to make firefox stop auto filling my email information since i use a different password locker (which you should too! try bitwarden!), and it was easier than digging through a bunch of submenus for a setting i wasn’t sure existed. you can just turn shit off!
- there’s a preset theme called aurora that’s purple and VERY pretty
- once you get ublock origin and as many other blockers as you’d like set up, no ads, anywhere, ever! streaming sites, youtube, all the basics, totally no stress and no compatibility issues for me
- in browser screenshot and picture in picture functions!! holy shit i use these every day, the PiP is especially helpful, it replaced an extension i used to use on chrome and it’s leagues better and works on all video content pretty much
- overall better downloads management imo, it’s a lot easier to get to your downloads and find them later
- better bookmark system, with the ability to organize your bookmarks with searchable tags and assign them a shortcut you can type into the search bar to go to
- containers! you can have two accounts to the same website open in two different tabs and switch between them without having to switch accounts. also gives firefox the ability to contain facebook and their trackers, so you can click that party invite link without feeling like you just let mark zuckerberg into your house
these were just off the top of my head, i love firefox a lot and actively enjoy using it, which i never felt with chrome! please download firefox!! you will not regret it!!! where’s your fucking rage!!!!!! go!!!!!!!!!
adding on my extensions starter pack! these are BASICS, there is a whole wide beautiful world of extensions that do useful and silly things. i can save a page im looking at to the wayback machine w a right click! (here)
UBlock Origin - THE adblocker. should come preinstalled w firefox
Privacy Badger, DontTrackMeGoogle, Decentraleyes, TrackMeNot - a healthy suite of track blockers and such, you can never have too many until it starts affecting your performance
ClearURLs - removes all the tracking garbage pages add when you copy paste a url, also makes them shorter and less ugly
Cookie Autodelete - deletes unused cookies whenever you leave a page
~~I Don’t Care About Cookies~~ - according to voices i trust in the security community, this extension was sold to a data seller, remove if if you have it installed
Return YouTube Dislikes - does what it says on the tin, install it and forget they were ever gone!
Shinigami Eyes - applies off of tumblr! will highlight news sources and blogs as anti-trans as well
and if you read through this whole list and still somehow havent yet
>> DOWNLOAD FIREFOX <<

Enhancer for Youtube - it has a lot of nifty features but i really like its 1 click screenshot button and how it makes my yotube a Dark Purple theme :3

SponserBlock - Gets rid of all sponsors, it analyzes the video and skips to the end of the adbreak for you, so you dont have to! you can even choise to turn of self promos like merch. its like an advanced adblocker :P
