Interesting timing that my company just emailed me this week to tell me they will be removing Firefox from my system for “security reasons”. They suggest I move to Chrome, Edge, or Safari (with no App Store access).

I had been using Firefox for years, as I try to avoid Chromium based browsers at all costs. It’s only a matter of time before they block Safari.

Wrong question.

Question should be: What are you replacing Chrome with?

I use Firefox and don’t have any issues.

I use Firefox, and Brave is my backup.

Firefox is right. there.

uBlock Origin Lite

A hosts file from https://github.com/stevenblack/hosts, not using JavaScript with LibreSJS + https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/workarounds-f... to browse on some pages which require JS.

Also I use the News Waflle service from gemini://gemi.dev from Lagrange and Offpunk (a Gemini protocol client) which can cut down a web size to a 3% of the original. OFC no ads are shown.

Before anyone jumps into me on the motto but news sites need money to run, blah, blah..., most newspaper sites in Spain have more than 700 tracking related cookies and tons of bloat in form of JS. I am not exxagerating. 700, FFS.

Browse https://elindependiente.com from a web browser. Then, paste the full URL into gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/view and open any news.

As a test under Lagrange or any Gemini client:

gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/view?https%3A%2F%2Felindependiente.com

Open any link, don't worry if you don't understand Spanish. Just scroll down to the bottom, and read the line on the saved up size. It varies between 90% and 99%. And that with a web scrapper and converter into Gemini.

If we compared the whole size of the webs against the cut-down Gemini site (but with the whole news), the percentage of saved data wound't be lower than 98% for sure.
