I'm not entirely convinced that Google and Microsoft are Elrond in this particular issue .. or that uBlock Origin is the one ring .. it feels like this meme is something Sauron would push to make people think the good guys are bad guys ..
Yeah, this is definitely a misuse of the meme.
Indeed.
Make the ring ManifestV3, then it makes sense.
You'd probably also need to make Firefox Elrond and Isildur google, Microsoft can be some random orc or something ..
Every story has two sides, and unfortunately the victor often writes the first history. However I do encourage reading the real LOTR story as told in the last ringbearer.
Is this to LOTR as Wicked (not the stupid musical) is to Wizard of Oz?
Given that the author is a Kirill Yeskov, I think it's safe to say that it's fanfic, yes. Akin to Paradise Lost being the real story of the Bibble.
It’s weird to me, anyone using Edge or Chrome over Mozilla. It makes no sense. It’s not 1998 anymore. Surely people have had time to absorb the progression of things.
Edge is comfy. Simple as. I don't use chrome because it's too resource hungry (or was last time I used it), and I see no need to switch into firefox. Especially that I have, most probably hella outdated, bias against it from around the time chrome launched. Firefox was that messy weird browser nerds used, always full of tab and bars for some reason (ones that weren't the effect of a virus).
When Edge goes with manifest update, I am aiming at Floorp.
I keep chromium installed for the few times a year I visit a page that doesn't support Firefox.
Mozilla will get rid of uBlock, don't you worry. They love Goofle way too much.
They'll get offered ad revenue sharing and it'll be too good to pass up.
They certainly have no ideological problem with following suit.
Once a proper alternative pops up, Mozilla is done for. They'll have lived long enough to become the villain.
It's crazy anyone would willingly use Chrome and browse the internet without any protection. You'd be surprised though, as many of my friends don't even have an adblocker.
In a way I guess it's good for people like us who just block them, as the ad watchers are essentially subsidizing services like YouTube who would otherwise crackdown harder on ad blockers.
Some people pay for youtube premium+ (or whatever it’s called) and try to be oh so smug about the quality of service they get. YT with no ads. If you pay for it. I’d rather just not use youtube.
I haven't yet met anyone who're so smug about paying yt premium, as vanced offer much much more. I paid it, have no complain, but i wouldn't be smug about it, that's just silly.
Oh I've seen a few in the comments here on Lemmy.
They're the same people who go "I'm fine with the raising prices. It's a valuable service to me and I make lots of money, so I'm fine with bending over for their shareholders."
It's capitalism signaling for people with more money than values and ABSOLUTELY no sense of pattern recognition or consequences.
Doesn't this mean that web developers will just stop developing their sites to be compatible with anything other than chrome derivatives?
That's already the case to some extent.
But if Firefox is the only browser where real adblocking happens, I imagine anti-adblocking will become less aggressive, which will be great news for Firefox users.
Even though Vivaldi is chromium-based, some site just don't function properly or even refuse to load, but working fine in chrome, so yeah it's already happened.
MOZILLDUR!!!
Please stop
