Blocking #google #youtube #ads on #apple devices ain't easy.
The best way to block ads on an Apple #mac is using #mozilla #firefox and the extension #ublockorigin. There is no better way, unless you want to pay Google.
The second best on a mac is using Google #chrome and #ublockoriginlight, which wokrs with the new version of Chrome. The full ublock origin extension doesn't, though. (1/5)

If you're not aware of the excellent #readeck it's probably best described as a self-hosted #mozilla #pocket replacement
You can find the official site here: https://readeck.org/en/
and now there's also an android mobile app in the works, though I don't think it's aligned with the original project, here: https://github.com/jensomato/ReadeckApp

@siklist @andreas_heitmann …und folgende im Link erwähnte Mozilla Plugins für mehr Privatsphäre so wie Sicherheit der persönlichen Metadaten 
Please, I beg you, if someone at Mozilla can fix this please then do so, as I'm about to visit violence upon my laptop. I just want to click the back button. 
The announcement of “Thundermail” (I.e. Thunderbird Pro) reads more like envy than a valid justification for monetisation.
Sure, Thunderbird might remain free, but it sows doubts as to whether any meaningful new feature will be added to it.
Why anyone would believe that they will intentionally hamper their own monetisation efforts for goodwill at this point, is frankly beyond me.
The enshitification of software continues…

Ab dem 10. April kann man die moderne Wegelagerei durch massive #werbung auf #youtube durch Schutzgeld in Höhe von 5,99 Euro/Monat weitestgehend beenden.
Alternativ kann man den #mozilla #firefox Browser mitsamt #ublockorigin Plugin verwenden oder benutzt die Light-Varieante mit #google #chrome. Für #apple #safari gibt es Addblocker (9,99 Euro/Jahr), welche den Job recht gut übernehmen ...
Update: Account successfully deleted. Tried again after a few days and it just worked™ without errors. I'm still uncertain why this happened or why there would be a time limit in the first place.
Original post: Trying to delete my #Firefox account via https://accounts.firefox.com gives me this. Appeared the first time i tried, re-appeared after a 15 min. wait and still appears an hour later. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. #mozilla #gdpr #dsgvo
I’m gonna say it louder for the folks in the back: Mozilla is not what you think it is. Mozilla is not what they say they are. Mozilla is just another for-profit Silicon Valley tech company that has a not-for-profit doing its PR.

Strong point by #Schibsted: we tried to move away from #Google #Ads when #GDPR came into force but lost so much money we had to go back. 
And that's where the event ends. Lots to think about, not very convinced about what #Mozilla is doing.
Glad to see #Rob from #FPF brings up #Kobler's #contextualads solution as a viable alternative to #RTB and #SurveillanceAdvertising.
Also makes a super important point about mandatory #DoNotTrack signals in browsers.
IMO this is what #Mozilla should be working towards, not making #Firefox as a data collection platform.
What a weird world in which the #publisher champions #GDPR because #privacy and #Mozilla says it's harmful 
#Schibsted also celebrates the #DigitalMarketsAct for reining in #Meta's #gatekeeper power.
Other interesting point: they'd like #cookies under the #GDPR instead of #ePrivacy combined with a timid acknowledgement that publishers are forced to participate in a system (of #programmatic #advertising) they cannot control.
Wow so the #Mozilla engineer disagrees and claims "#GDPR has done a great deal of harm" (I didn't understand his argument why) but now diverted to saying the #browser should be the platform collect all the personal data and then provide it in aggregated form to advertisers.
This would "give control to people while also unlocking the data". 
And all in a sudden, #SurveillanceAdvertising is not a #humanrights issue any more but merely a question of "governance".
Stop legitimising Mozilla.
They’re sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

(Or in this case the second, third, fourth… what are we on? I’ve lost count.)

At a #Mozilla event in #Brussels this morning about "#privacy-first online #advertising". I am _very_ curious where this weirdest of things Mozilla does is going. 
Speakers: Petra Wikström, policy person at #Schibsted, @rvaneijk, @eff's Svea Windwehr and Mozilla's own Martin Thompson.
@ryanleesipes can you raise a serious proposal with the board towards changing the legal name, even something simple like Thunderbird Technologies, like whatever.
Once Mozilla and Firefox were an asset to be associated with, I fear that Firefox and Mozilla are both very much tanking in 2025 with their decision to start selling out on user data.
I’ve always loved Firefox and been a strong advocate but the recent changes cut deep, we all know too well the odor that enshitification gives off when companies start to sell out on their users.

#browser market share 2024/25:
This is serious! #chrome is taking over the internet like #microsoft did the same about 30 years ago with the Internet Explorer.
Thanks to the world wide success of the #apple #iphone and #ipad the #safari browser comes second. The rest is dust. Including #mozilla #firefox.
With #google Chrome winning the browser race they can dictate web techlologies. Keep in mind, that Google is an advertising company in the first place ...
