Nostalgic AF. Honestly, though, uBO (desktop and mobile) is the killer feature of FF over Chrome. Haven't touched Chrome in years.

I clicked on that link and was greeted with a 50% of my phone screen being theverge's cookie banner.

We used to appreciate irony when it wasnt so on the nose all the time.

Several Chromium browsers have native adblocking built in at this point. No extensions required.

I saw it earlier today and loved it! Reminded me of how my friends and I would bypass our school’s blocks on Ebaumsworld just to watch the Numa Numa guy. Also Kelly (the “Shoes” guy) looks exactly the same

It's not impossible. mv3 pertains to extensions and, as I said, it's not an extension, it's built natively into the browser.

They haven't fired Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, yet, have they? If not then it's just another slop project.
