uBlock Origin support, plus faster browsing. Update to the latest version of Firefox.
Apart from being faster, Firefox 155 is also the only non-Chromium browser that supports uBlock Origin, as Google removed it entirely yesterday.
Reminder that support for uBlock Origin is here to stay on Firefox.
iOS users deserve the same choice and control, so native ad blocking is now rolling out.
Google has removed uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store as Chrome finishes its move away from Manifest V2.
Google says Manifest V3 is meant to improve security and privacy, but it also limits how content-blocking extensions can work.
The original uBlock Origin is not dead, It still works on browsers that support Manifest V2, including Firefox, there is also uBlock Origin Lite for Manifest V3, but it has fewer features.

Nothing new. Mozilla called out this same kind of tactic in the latest Over the Edge report. If you're running Windows, we recommend periodically checking your browser's default settings for anything you didn't choose yourself.

Microsoft Windows 11 App Pushes Bing as Default Search in Chrome, Firefox and Brave
Source:
Microsoft has built a dedicated Windows 11 app that exists to put Bing in front of users who already chose another search engine. The utility, Microsoft Recommended Search Settings, arrives as a standalone 22.2 MB installer named MicrosoftSettings.exe.
It is hosted on Microsoft’s official download servers rather than Windows Update or the Microsoft Store, and its job is narrow: install a Bing extension, ask for a default-search switch, then send the user to Microsoft Rewards.
Microsoft wrapped the campaign in a WinUI shell with WebView2 and gave the file a name that looks like a system tool.

I appreciate the love and will rep it proudly
We at Firefox have been on the open source train for 20 years. It is great to join with more than 20 organizations as Mozilla to support more open weight and open source AI.
We joined this important open letter today from companies across the spectrum urging continued support for Open Source and open weight models. As the letter says and our State of Open Source AI report shows, open weight AI can expand opportunity and strengthen competition.
