Some time ago Firefox started eating tons of RAM. I googled a bit and found it was actually AdBlock Plus eating RAM, so I switched to uBlock Origin. But not all people switched to another extension, some of them switched to anotger browser.

I hope they will return the original Angry Birds series to the stores.

I enabled everything but personalized extension recommendations. I want Mozilla to know how the browser is used, so they can improve it based on statistics rather than their assumptions.
Filtering is more flexible in some cases, but why should I filter a community instead of blocking it?
Pricing for Ukraine didn’t change.
My experience is the opposite. A colleague who uses SourceTree and git console (for use cases not covered by SourceTree) asked me a few times to fix his branches when something went wrong (after using git console). I easily fixed it using SmartGit (paid software).
A good GUI can solve most problems.
100% with Firefox for Android and Blokada. 100% with Firefox 117 beta for Windows (advanced tracking protection + uBlock Origin).
I mean blocking all communities from an instance by a user. Currently, it’s implemented on a client level in a few clients, but it obviously doesn’t work for the web UI. Blocking all users from a certain instance is not that useful, I guess.
Thanks a lot for your work.
When the possibility to block instances will be implemented?
I’m a Liftoff user, but I was waiting for Sync for Lemmy because I liked the design of Sync for Reddit (based on screenshots). Basically yes, Liftoff and Sync for Lemmy are pretty similar, but Sync also has a ton of adjustments and cool features Liftoff is missing. And Sync has clean appealing design. After using it Liftoff looks worse.
Regional pricing would be great. For my country ad-free price is ridiculously high.
I was talking about servers, not client apps.
Regarding the app, yes, $20 is too expensive for just turning off ads. Moon Reader Pro asks $8 for an ad-free experience, and yet I think it’s a bit too much for me. But it’s a market, and demand will correct the price. If nobody pays $20 to disable ads, the devs can consider reducing the price, at least temporarily. So I don’t see any problems here.
As for totally free apps, I consider them as a sort of gift. Some people are giving away the results of their labor for free, maybe because it’s their hobby, or because of ideology, but definitely because they have spare time to work on their apps. But it can change, and active development can stop. The only thing able to motivate them to continue the work is a profit, allowing them to spend some time without sacrificing anything else. We can end up with ads, subscriptions, single-time payments, or maybe just donations. I think it’s inevitable for active projects.
This platform needs money to keep going. If donations do not cover expenses, it will either find funding or just close. So, it may end up using “trappings of capitalism”.
Mozilla is payed for setting Google as a default search engine. That doesn’t contradict Firefox vs Chromium claim.
