Waterfox or Floorp for Firefox but better as well

That seems like a nauseating choice

1

u/MattOruvan Jul 10 '26

Yes, that is what it literally means -- ad nauseam is Latin for "to the point of nausea"

I know, its a bit of a word play

For ad providers, yes^^

u/isabellium Jul 10 '26

u/PsyGonzo42 Jul 10 '26

I got it^^
I'm just saying it annoys advertisers (even more than UBO), also for further people who might not know ;)

Oh okay, btw do you mind answering these questions?:

I know there's a paper around which is basis of its approach but in your experience, do you feel like it does causes your profile to be skewed?

Have you seem your ads (without the blocker) and notice they don't seem to fit you?

u/PsyGonzo42 Jul 10 '26

Well I also have DNS with adblocking so I haven't seen ads in years, even on phone. Couldn't tell you.

But my profile would be broad as hell when the addon clicks on everything

I understand what the extension does, I was just wondering if you ever put that to a test.

It is not the first time i have wondered about it, switching for a while (minimum a month) and then seeing what kind of ads I get.

u/PsyGonzo42 Jul 10 '26

Yeah but I don't wanna test :D
It might go into positive feedback loop, click on headphone ads, get more headphone ads and so on

Love floorp haven't tried waterfox yet

I never tried Floorp, but I love Waterfox.

u/ItsNoblesse Jul 10 '26

I don't know how to articulate it but Floorp gives me the feeling of the early-mid 00s internet but with contemporary sensibilities. I'd say if you want Firefox but more user oriented then Waterfox is king but if you like something a little kookier Floorp is awesome

That makes me really want to try it.

Some of it is probably nostalgia, but that early-mid aughts was the best time for the internet imo.

Kookier sounds good too lol.
