This is hilarious. They're trying to scare people into removing their ad blockers by claiming it affects performance. But what isn't measured is how much longer pages will load having to load all the advertising without an ad blocker!

I switched to searx.be a couple of days ago and so far I'm quite happy with the results.
The article mentions this is happening on the TV Youtube app. You're running Firefox on your Android TV?
I picked a cheap phone on purpose, but I don't know how I'll be able to go back to a phone that doesn't have the chop to activate the flashlight gesture. It works everytime for me, and it's a pretty easy gesture. I've never had it go off accidentally either. Same goes for the double twist for the camera.
The guestures have been such a pleasant surprise for my budget tier device.
Govt: We’re switching to electric. Buy an EV!

There are already other open source forks of Firefox that are community driven and maintained without employees or a for profit organization behind them. The obvious example is LibreWolf which describes itself as "a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom". There's no argument that maintaining a web browser is currently complex and needs to make security first decisions, but LibreWolf as an example shows us that it is not only possible but I argue proves it will continue even if Firefox as we know it goes away.
