The Grex system will be permanently shut down
You should install one of the many referrer removal addons and enable it for hacker news. For example: https://github.com/airtower-luna/referer-mod
If you're going to browse a website that's known for being full of awful tech-bros, racists, and fans of paul graham, it's usually best to avoid advertising that to the rest of the internet.
Most sites are too lazy to do anything based on referrer, but there are several sites out there that go the extra mile to put out a welcome mat to people coming from this wretched site.

Is there any alternative to the Smart Referer add-on for Firefox?
On the github issue tracker of Arkenfox user.js, there's an open issue in which one of the comments seem to claim that there's this new add-on called "Referer Modifier" which is capable of doing the same thing but to me it seems to be WIP from the looks of the github repository. I would be glad if any of you who has tried this add-on can tell me more about it and whether it is capable enough, as it is, to replace Smart Referer add-on. Apart from this, if you know about any other alternatives to Smart Referer add-on, please let me know about it in the comments. I don't have a GitHub or GitLab account to open an issue myself or join the ongoing discussions regarding the same issue which is why I thought about posting here on this subreddit.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
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.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
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.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
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.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> 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.

I don't understand what's so good about Firefox
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.
