Helium and other Chromium derivatives still support it, so this title isn't entirely accurate.
Sadly vanilla FF has embraced AI slop and set Google as their default search engine, show ads until you disable the function etc. So i guess the moral of the story is to not use default browsers.
Edit: I can't read
I switched back to Firefox vanilla after years of Chrome. Can you, or other power users, suggest alternate versions of FF/ other plugins more advanced or useful than Ublock? I haven't had the time/energy to dig for it and would appreciate an upgrade path to get me up to date with privacy and more advanced ad blocking.
Thanks!
I like the Zen browser, its really unique but pretty cool
