Only reason they are seeing so many uninstalls is because ublock origin is the big one that works and that requires uninstalling other blockers to get it to not be detected.
Ublock origin doesn't track uninstalls but it has gained quite a few users in the last 8 days

Some day they will offer linux version that you can download from from the website and install without using terminal.
Mullvad is a fork of Tor Browser so it gets some features from that like:
Discussion about this https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/issues/1
It's not a replacement for Firefox or it's forks, it's a complement to your main browser. It's like private browsing but always private and always separate from your other browsers and won't save any data locally except maybe bookmarks.
The link I originally posted should explain this but here is a page that explains it in greater detail: https://mullvad.net/en/browser/hard-facts. Some more links:
It's the Tor browser without Tor, there's a wipe button just for this issue.
Good thing that you can still self host it, post your favorite jitsi instances below for everyone to use.
I'll start with this one: https://calls.disroot.org/
Yes but my main issue is that installing software can be a pain in general. The script that someone made just to download and install firefox from mozilla.org is evident of that:
"The objective is to provide a method to easily install Mozilla Firefox directly from Mozilla's website and enable Firefox's automatic update feature for the latest releases. Providing a pure stock Mozilla Firefox experience for everyone using your Linux computer at home."
Isn't it kind of odd that this has to have a script in the first place? Or is it actually easy and this script is redundant? From a windows perspective the fact that you can't just download an installer that works it's pretty weird. I notice that other software often offers .deb or .rpm files and maybe those are more what I want..
But also repositories can be a pain, I remember trying to install the emulation thing RetroArch via the app store thing on ubuntu and that was outdated and installing cores was very different from how I did it on PC.
https://retroarch.com/index.php?page=linux-instructions
"Cores should be downloaded from within the program using the Online Updater's Core Updater, if possible. Some distros patch out the Online Updater, in which case you'll need to install cores using your package manager. There are core packages available in the PPAs, as well, and they will continue to be updated, but new packages for new cores will not be created."
I tried to use Ubuntu for a bit but I just wanted to have regular Firefox with the built in updater, turns out this is way more of a hassle than it is on Windows.
It shouldn't be that hard to "install" a program like Firefox directly from a website but all you get is an archive thing that you have to manually "install" basically, it's tricky enough that someone wrote a tool just do do this: https://gitlab.com/Linux-Is-Best/Firefox-automatic-install-for-Linux
APT and Flatpacks are all cool but an offline installation should still be available and easy to use without being forced to use a terminal. Maybe I'm incorrect and I would love to hear about it but this is my experience.
Steam for whatever reason is basically installed the same way on windows as on PC in terms of user experience, you download a file and double click it. Maybe it's Mozillas fault? Who knows, it's frustrating in any case.
There seems to be some bugs with federation here and there.. for example there are lots of interesting communities you can subscribe to, here are some of them: https://lemmy.one/communities/listing_type/All/page/1
These will all work and they would show up on your front page if you enabled your front page to work like that in your settings. However some are mastodon accounts and who knows what else, it's not super clear.
https://lemmy.ml/communities and https://beehaw.org/communities has some nice communities that I might wanna subscribe to but and sometimes you can just search for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) locally and it works. like this:
https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]
and you would think this should work: https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]
but 404.. can't search for it either.
Maybe that instance disabled federation in some way? Maybe this instance is too new so the other one has to allow it? it's unclear.
Lemmy seems real cool and it should work fine for local discussion just like any subreddit but federation might be sorta fuzzy..
Youtube is not ahead as of now, you can check on this website: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/ It also links to a guide.
