        Google is in the process of undermining the effectiveness of uBlock Origin and other adblockers on Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I believe that change comes into effect this year.

        But even before those changes were announced, uBlock Origin’s creator and main dev has stated that uBO is most capable on Firefox.

    I was at a party a few weeks ago and when we needed to use a web browser, one of the first things that happened was one of the attendees taking the computer to install FireFox.

    I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.

        It’s a boy-who-cried-wolf situation. Too many false homophobia accusations have gone around for be to believe any of them anymore.

    Firefox users may very well be doing that and no one will know because Google is not spying on them through their browser.

      Kind of is. Part of Firefox revenue is from Google, who pays to have google as the default search engine
