Does anyone have a good alternative to Firefox that yeets ads?

I've been using Firefox for decades, but this is getting a bit yikes.
We just passed noon ET, and that means there's a new batch of Verge articles that are completely free to read for the day.

First up, from @davidpierce.xyz:

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo says he thinks there’s room for another browser, even an AI browser — as long as you can trust it.
Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox
Anthony Enzor-DeMeo is taking charge of one of the internet’s most important — and most complicated — companies.

Alright!

Due to some nasty medical issues, I can't stream. Issues to the point I now have a severe lisp.

Due to living in America, it will take half a year to get this multi-thousand dollar issue fixed IF it can be fixed.

So streams are put on hold for at least several months.

Know anyone who is confused as to why JK Rowling and her works are problematic?

Here's a very good article that breaks everything down for them.

So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans
…and you either asked for more information or decided to argue about it. Herein I lay out the issue and the arguments.

I'm still waiting for a community day classic for my favorite gen 2 starter, Chikorita.

For real.

I know I don't actively play pogo, but I'll take the day off for that one community day lol

What happens when an MMO veteran of 31 years plays Palia? No idea, but we'll find out.

I'm going to be tutored by @siroberon.bsky.social in voicechat, let's see how I handle an online MMO cozy game compared to playing them offline.

With Epic doing a Harry Potter collab in Fortnite, knowing full well the harm it's creator continues to engage in, I'm not doing Fortnite Friday streams anymore.

Also I've canceled my Crew sub and Uninstalled the game.

It was a fun few years, but I just can't support this.

Streaming Star Ocean: Second Story R (Fortnite Fridays are on pause or a bit), then switching to some other games depending on how I feel. <3

Pools is a really trippy game, to be honest I'm fascinated by anything to do with lininal spaces and atmospheres.

Sorry I'm super late to my stream, I'll do a short multi-game stream starting with Dragon Quest I&II 2DHD remake!

I'll probably be playing the second game and then it's whatever game after that, maybe even Blood Refreshed Supply or even Prodeus!

With my new sleep study, my insurance no longer pays for my CPAP despite the fact I was hospitalized for not breathing for a LONG time.

Of course, I can pay for one out of pocket now. (:
I bet I'll develop a fear of sleeping soon enough.

This whole thing is so nightmarish.

The nurse I just saw is a GOAT, I never seen a medical professional (born in NYC too BTW) dump on an employer so hard.

It's wild to see someone who has a heart, ever moreso she's been a nurse for 3 decades.

I learned a lot about my current hospital chain. :3

Roomie: Want to trade a bunch of quaxly real quick?

Me: Yeah sure, why not?

*three trades later*

Me: !!!

I swear when you don't play much there's something in Pokémon Go that tries to get you back in. x3

I have hundos of all 3 Paldea starters now.

I'm learning so much stuff on the history of and why Healthcare in the southeast is soooo wretched and just why hospitals are allowed to not pay taxes while not offering free clinics out here.

Yikes, just yikes. This is a hell of a rabbit hole, I'm not going to lie.

The only reason I did this community day weekend in Pokemon Go was in hopes of getting ONE of these.

I would up getting both Rookidee and Jangmo-o hundos. <3
