      Which is why it boggles my mind that every company I have worked for uses it as the stock alternative to Edge over Firefox.

        The reason is (what I was told) because they don’t have as fine-grained control of Firefox as they have with Chrome on Windows.

          Correct. Chrome and edge have many many group policy options to mass control fleets of machines. Easily discoverable and configurable. I’m not sure if it is still this way, but Firefox GPO was always janky, and you always ended up needing to resort to a local file for policy stuff that was a pain to manage.

      Exactly, they’re trying to kill the competition but they’re obviously not going to damage their business.

      Adnaseum is better. It actively tries to help websites by “clicking through” all tracking ads without accepting a return payload so it is safe for you. This means the website you are browsing gets the income from the ad clicks and you have an ad free experience. This also obsficates your online presence by clicking everything.

        That’s not going to be very useful for very long. Advertisers will very quickly wise up and find a way to detect this.

          The plugin has been active for 4+ years and still works. It will get detected as more people use Firefox.
