★★★★★ Firefox user 13622605 · 17 Sep 2026 · v2026.8.6I always install Firefox and Duck (including Ducks Browser For more restrictive browsing, needs) as straight up first install on all devices. Unquestionably the best protection from being farmed on the internet. Samsung farms you, Microsoft farms you, Google has your DNA, Facebook OWNs and SHAPEs your thoughts and hate. This stops all of that. So if it breaks parts of the internet, thats ok too, its called protection. One of my friends put my email into a shopping website to get some (so called TEMU special deal). Im no longer friends with them. I have throw away shopping emails and he blew

★★★☆☆ Firefox user 17017458 · 22 Jun 2026 · v2026.5.22Con l'estensione attiva non mi fa superare la verica captcha di Facebook, in pratica mi da la verifica captcha positiva ma mi rimanda al login e questo si ripete molte volte senza consentirmi l'accesso a Facebook. Il problema si è presentato da 2 massimo 3 settimane, prima non avevo nessun problema ad accedere. Disattivando l'estensione supero positivamente la verifica captcha e posso accedere a Facebook. Ho aperto anche un Topic nel Forum Mozilla Italia dal titolo: " Malfunzionamento di Firefox all'accesso in Facebook con il captcha?" I miei dati attuali: Win 10, Firefox 152.0.1 e DuckDuckG

★★★★★ Jamie · 17 Jun 2026 · v2026.5.22Very nice job, great to prevent Google, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Google, and Google from tracking. (Makes a great pair with Ghostery.)

★☆☆☆☆ What??? · 24 May 2026 · v2026.4.28I see no point to this since we have uBlock that's not restricted like on Chrome browsers. Adding AI only makes this worse. Overall, I'm not happy with FF in 2026 and I understand Mozilla is going to redesign/refresh FF to (try) to win users back. It sits at the bottom of browsers for desktops — then again, desktop browser use is on a major decline anyways.

★☆☆☆☆ American chestnut · 13 May 2026 · v2026.4.28"Optional" AI summary is on by default. They think changing your search to a "noai" domain is a suitable work around. No it's not, we should not have disinfo brainrot on by default.

★★★★☆ Pax Ahimsa Gethen · 16 Mar 2026 · v2026.1.12I didn't even realize I had this extension until I was troubleshooting not being able to see the comments section on a site I frequent, a problem that just started a couple weeks ago. When I disabled the extension, I could see the comments section again, but a lot of ads started appearing on other sites I visit that apparently had been hidden by this extension. I tried to explain this to someone at the site with the comments section, but they weren't very helpful. So for now I'm just toggling the extension off for that site and then back on again for other sites. I wish there were a way to tu
