Can someone remind me why we stopped using Firefox a while back? There was some piece of news that broke everyone’s trust, but I can’t remember what Mozilla did. Was it a change in their user agreement?

      It didn’t break adblockers “at the time”. It broke them intentionally. That was by design. Google is an advertising company dabbling in other areas. They don’t want a browser that can properly block their primary revenue.

      It was intentional to block/break adblockers. Google is worlds largest advertiser…

      Understood, that’s something to be expected by Google, but complete shit.

      However, adblockers still work these days - see Vivaldi, so they found a workaround?
