FastForward VS user.js

I quickly scrolled through the supported website list, and I haven’t recognized any familiar websites.

https://github.com/FastForwardTeam/FastForward/blob/main/doc...

All of these look super obscure.

to be clear i'm not on curse's side, but pretty sure that by using FastForward extension and ublock origin you skip the 5sec wait. works on my machine at least. but yeah, the whole site is pretty much falling apart

FastFoward - Gets past Link shortners and skips them, iplogger blocker and bypasser and tracker blocker

https://github.com/FastForwardTeam/FastForward/issues/920 https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/11zx6px/comment/jdh63t8/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 So, basically firefox removed the FastForward extension because of the way it worked. The devs are fixing it and it'll be back soon. Hope this helped :)

It's currently on their Github tracker, but in the mean time you likely have to turn it off if you want to be able to use Bard. No way to whitelist the site or disable the addon just on that page from what I can tell.

Maybe FastForward works?

UBlock Origin and FastForward bypass. With this combination, I have NEVER gotten an ad or ran into a prompt to force me to disable adblock.

Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

For macOS : Thunderbird and you can harden it even more with this : https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js

only arkenfox

This article is shit. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/ is what you want.

If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime

Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.

Like others have said you can customize the browser to the point that it doesn't even look like the default anymore. Or customize it to maximize privacy.
