There was a brief period I noticed during which the uBlock Origin WebExtension edition wasn&amp;#x27;t fully up to par with the old XUL-based version, letting some ads slip through. That&amp;#x27;s been fixed since then.</text><parent_chain><item><author>Kluny</author><text>I gave Firefox a try a month or two ago when people started saying it was good again. I think I had a problem with uBlock origin not working well enough - too much crap was getting through. What are people using for adblock?</text></item><item><author>Santosh83</author><text>Indeed this is the main point, and the reason I&amp;#x27;ve stuck with Firefox ever since it launched, despite being rather slow a few years back. This is the only browser engine that is not shaped by major corporate interests. And frankly it has no &lt;i&gt;major&lt;/i&gt; downsides as compared to Chrome. The latter only enjoys the market share it does (in my opinion) because of being aggressively pushed on Google.com and being bundled everywhere.</text></item><item><author>tspike</author><text>Thanks for the reminder.

It&amp;#x27;s been absolutely great. It&amp;#x27;s fast and I trust and like the nonprofit behind it. And all the extensions I care about are available.&lt;p&gt;My main issue with Chrome was the endless nags to sign in to a Google account, and just generally wanting less dependence on Google.

It&amp;#x27;s absolutely great. And it&amp;#x27;s not surprising to me that Chrome is not a leader here. It&amp;#x27;s owned by the biggest advertising company on the internet. I predict Chrome will continue to lag on pro-privacy, anti-nag features.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How Firefox Got Fast Again</title><url>https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/11/entering-the-quantum-era-how-firefox-got-fast-again-and-where-its-going-to-get-faster/</url></story>
