How to Firefox


Chrome finally pulled the trigger on the web’s best ad-blocker, uBlock Origin. Now that Chrome has hobbled uBO, Firefox—my beloved—1 is surging again. I want to do my part to convince you to switch to Firefox and show you how I use it.

uBO relies on community-curated filter lists that play a cat-and-mouse game to zap known ads, trackers, and other digital sludge.

The optional Containerise add-on solves this by letting you create simple rules that force specific sites to always open in their designated container.
