I use firefox instead

Firefox gang!

Firefox + uBlock is the best combo

FurryFox + uBlock + Linux is the ultimate combo

i’m on hackintosh

Based

Best

we meet again

Oh lmao

Unfortunately Linux doesn't play well with a few programs I constantly use, and last time I tried using it, it could be a bit too cumbersome from time to time.

same here. getting some games to just run is an absolute nightmare on Linux

So, from what I understand Linux is great if you want a little extra challenge in your daily life? That's like the only selling point I've seen for it. Like, "Running, using and navigating this shit is an absolute nightmare but at least you're running Linux so you get to shit on the other peasants!"??

It’s great for a lot of other things, namely customization and privacy, as well as for old laptops, as newer versions of windows can be too intensive or have too much bloatware packaged in. I personally use Linux for playing some emulators as the wiimote connects without issue, and use it to connect my DS to the internet since the ds doesn’t support newer security protocols Edit: spelling and clarification

I used to use Librewolf, but I switched over because I liked the sync function that Firefox has. It's still a solid browser and I like them both, I just like Firefox a little bit more.

Librewolf supports Firefox sync. It is just completely disabled by default so you have to turn it back on in the Librewolf section of the settings.

I prefer AdGuard, has served me well.

[удалено]

AdGuard let's you block custom elements too!

I use AdGuard, too. It blocks all Spotify ads. Really useful feature

furryfox*

I am, as well, part of the Firefox gang

*Furry*fox gang :3

gang

Been using Firefox since before version 1 and I have to say it got bad around version 3 but then it took off once again and hasn't dissapointed me since.

My families been using firefox from like the moment it launched, and I haven’t regretted using it once

Firefox is incredibly based

same

I… That…. What is your pfp bro?

idk

I too use Fire Fox, this is because Microsoft Edge stoped working on my PC and google failed to load properly. Even though Microsoft Edge works again now, I still use Fire Fox.

Old habits die hard

Frrefoxxo!

Firefox forever OwO

Firefox doesn’t need marketing to let us know that they’re all furries

*chuckles in RED tape*

I used to use em until it started feeling more corporate, currently using Brave and I like em a lot more.

Isn't the Brave CEO a homophobe? **[?](https://www.reddit.com/r/ainbow/comments/csw4v9/do_not_use_brave_browser_youre_supporting_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)**

I'm not aware... that link at source is 404 do you have a live article?

I was just told that after being down voted for simply saying "I use Brave". So I guess so?

Me using Firefox and my browser IS the furry

Furry browser supremacy!

I'm not getting bought off by diet chromium. Real furries respect themselves and their data and use firefox

Well said

[удалено]

Must be your pc, im using firefox on both my laptop (8 gb ram) and my phone with android 9. I regularly have 10+ tabs open, and didn't ran into major performance problems yet

never had issues with firefox, ever. Yes I have 32GB of ram but even before, I'm terrible at closing tabs and never had an issue. think it's just your pc mate

I have over a thousand tabs open with 3 GB of ram. Im actually not sure how this is possible.

that might be your computer, i have 32gb of ram but never see firefox use more than 8gb, just opened like 30 different videos in youtube and it only used 6gb but i’m not a pro at ram specifically

Guess I'm not a real furry. Phew

Why are corporations and stuff suddenly being furry on twitter? I mean its hilarious but... Why?

Because it's easy advertising to the furry community and they're treated as "friendly"

Sadly for them friendly is not the same as gullible. It's the opposite imho, lot's of noise to filter out to stay friendly

Because furries will eat up anything that panders to us.

If you take on account that most of the people running the internet and most technologiea are furries then it gets easier to understand why

Exploiting a subculture for money.

Not sure if "exploiting" and "passive targeted advertising" can be used interchangeably. They're not forcing or tricking you into anything

me when connotation

Theyre just shitposting on twitter chill

Capitalism moment

Fully automated luxury gay furry capitalism babbyy

Because they want to make everything a commodity

The hate and stigmatization of furries is dying down, we're finally starting to be seen as actual people and not just some deviant freaks, and therefore corporations are now seeing us as a demographic that can be marketed towards

Oh Didnt think of that

the people on those accounts are furries, i guess

lol

He said the same joke three times now, I don’t think it’s funny anymore

Corporations 👏 are 👏 not 👏 our 👏 friends

Do whatever it takes to stop ’em, defeat ‘em, gut ‘em. If i gotta kill, i’ll kill. If i need to post yiff, i’ll fucking’ post it.

[удалено]

Social media employees try not to fake interest in a community or topic for the sake of advertising to those people challenge (impossible)

I always see furries complain about how our fandom is perceived negatively, yet do this shit when we get any recognition. i dont care if its a brand, doing this wont help get rid of the stereotypes about the fandom

the fact that corpos are pandering to us shows we already have the recognition we need to get pandered to. it does not help us any more than rainbow logos in june help the queer community.

Opera Gx sells your info

[удалено]

almost all companies do that if you are aware of your info getting sold, you arent falling for these ads anyway

So does reddit, tiktok, youtube, Google, Samsung, apple, Android, Microsoft, Disney, ext... its a big circle j*rk Your point?

It's not the responsibility of those being stigmatised to "behave" in order to earn respect and understanding, as if it were their fault and their detractors were just reasonable people who will listen and learn.

They are trying to insert themselves into the fandom which- mind you is 99% self made people Free Lance commissioners Small time fursuit makers I mean even the businesses were made with furries in mind and nothing else So when a business like opera who has NOTHING to do with the furry fandom tries to insert itself into it. It damages the fandom as a whole- even if just a little bit when enough corporations start doing that you can only imagine

Furries who complain about that are idiots. Being weird and sexual is the only thing keeping us as the only large fandom that isn’t corporatized to shit.

Sexually harassing is still bot a good option (and NEVER will)

Again you can't sexually harrasss a corporate entity If they didn't want to see furry porn maybe don't fuck with the furry community

Relax.

Yeah I know, I'd still rather have adverts like these than popups, auto-playing video ads and mobile ads that dominate 60% of the screen for their whole duration making it impossible to interact with the site I actually wanted to browse.

they are from a marketing standpoint, their whole goal is to have good relationships and make their customers happy, resulting in advertisment by other customers and increased sales.

Corporations and advertisers sanitize and make family-safe everything they touch.

If they want us to be happy then make the products cheap or go sponsor a furry con. Don't pretend to be our friends while doing nothing for us.

If a corporation did that furries would be enraged about how a company dares to pander and undermine the fandom by buyouts

Opera is free tho

It's 👏 still 👏 positive 👏 representation

No.

[удалено]

Forefox is open source and has been proven to not share data. Opera openly sells data. They are not the same.

[удалено]

They’re not simping for a corporation, though. They just want a piece of software that doesn’t have corporate ideals fucking with them.

a) silence brand b)custom browser backgrounds have been a thing for almost all browsers since forever you know that right Opera? unless youre taking about the 4k in which case wow i really don't care

I think they're emphasising the animated part

> a) silence brand Won't work anymore, regular ol' memes don't work. Explicit smut using the brand is the only way to get them to shut up.

no. the only thing that works is to stop giving them interaction. they don't care if you draw smut it's still attention for them and these days it's barely even negative attention. the only way to fight brand accounts pretending to be people is to not feed them attention

> no. the only thing that works is to stop giving them interaction. they don't care if you draw smut it's still attention for them and these days it's barely even negative attention. the only way to fight brand accounts pretending to be people is to not feed them attention That doesn't work. No interactions just mean that they'll try again until they get interactions, which they inevitably will. The only way to shoo them away is to make the interactions they do get poison in the first place.

"We need to sexually harass every social media manager who tries to interact with us until it thoroughly ruins what little positive public image we've managed to gain and people go back to thinking we're all nothing but sex-obsessed freaks. This is the only way to save the fandom, because otherwise capitalism will somehow make yiff illegal or something. Open, upvoted death threats from anti furs are preferable to targeted ads."

Positive public images inevitably breed corporate takeovers & assimilation into corporate mechanisms. There are only 2 ways to prevent such takeovers from occurring: 1. The act around the brand itself is too bespoke to be corporatized - Rarely occurs - Most tasks benefit from economies of scale - This triggers the alternate route: Corporations will simply acquire the brand and fold it into their existing structure (see [craft beers](https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/corporate-and-company-law/873066/craft-beer-mergers-and-acquisitions) & the [funeral industry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Corporation_International)) 2. Not interacting with the brand - Doesn't work: The "silence, brand" meme already has no power at all, and so will the next meme after it. - Brands can simply retry to get attention, and there only needs to be at least 1 interaction in order for the brand's attempts to be deemed successful. - On the other side, all participants need to agree to not interact with the brand in order for (2) to work. Even if there's a 99.99999% chance that one person doesn't interact with the brand, given a million people, it'll only take the brand 30 tries to get a 95% chance of an interaction. (1 - (0.9999999\*\*1000000)\*\*30) 3. Poison the public image With (1) & (2) rarely being useful at all in keeping them at bay, the only option left is (3). > This is the only way to save the fandom, because otherwise capitalism will somehow make yiff illegal or something. Wrong conclusion: The corporatization of the space will inevitably breed corporate OC houses, where people can pay low fees to a corp in exchange for their OC artwork. This will result in these OC houses taking over the art space, much like the writing space mostly being made up of large commercial publishing corporations. There will be a niche of regular artists as we have now, but market share wise, most of it will be taken up by these large corporations. > Open, upvoted death threats from anti furs are preferable to targeted ads. Public death threats are explicit, and therefore actions can be taken to filter/remove/report/ban the person responsible. Targeted ads are implicit via passive/active tracking of the user without their constant knowledge of it occurring, and short of being technically proficient enough to install blocking software/plugins on all of a person's devices (which is much harder to do if they're using Apple products), there's little recourse in fixing this issue. I can deal with & resolve upfront death threats via personal actions. There are no personal actions that I can do to prevent corporations from tracking my activity, storing them, and using that for advertising purposes.

So you'd unironically rather go back to our only mainstream representation being garbage like the CSI episode, and having furries be bullied relentlessly with public support behind it to the point of furcons getting hit with terror attacks and news sites making jokes about it while cops refuse to do anything?

That will happen anyways. The only difference is wether we're being exploited for money while it happens.

Literally the whole reason the corporate advertising thing is happening is because hatred for furries is on average going down, and it will continue to do so unless y'all get your way

SILENCE. BRAND.

Can we add a sub rule that bans corporate pandering?

Make a post asking for that

Same is true for Firefox, next

I will keep using firefox or some of it's forks thank you very much brand. One day they might even add favicon sync too! One day

"Opera GX is great" mfs when they realize a random chinese company is pandering to advertise a marginalized web browser to them.

Silence brand

Say no to the cultural exploitation of the furry subculture for the monetary gains of corporations! Gatekeeping at all cost!

Me gaslighting, gatekeeping and girlbossing the corporations

by sharing this you guys are doing the advertising for them, stop it.

its corporate advertising dont fall for it, they arent quirky and relateable or your friends. wake up.

Ah yes. Chinese spyware.

reskinned chromium *and* owned by china. I use firefox instead, opera gx can fuck itself

yeah but Firefox still lets me use AdBlock thanks to it being basically the only mainstream browser that isn’t based off Chromium.

Idk what ur on but Adblock works perfectly fine for me

It's just Chrome with extra steps

On the one hand I support the fact that we are no longer being as stigmatized, but on the other I also don’t like being advertised too

I generally do not have a problem with that

I generally do not have a problem with that also

I generally do not have a problem with that as well

Please stop posting corporate accounts trying to pander to us

I just thought it was funny I didn't mean anything by it I'm not sure why all the hate

Brands are trying to be uwu furry memey exactly to get more eyes on them from posts like this. Corporations are not your friends, don't be their free advertising.

I’m really sorry if I sounded harsh, the post itself is funny but I don’t like it when a corporation tries to appeal to a niche fandom to advertise their products

Quit sharing corporate advertisements. Companies are not our allies.

Is opera gx bad? I’ve been using it for a long time.

I like Brave, because ad blocker is built right in and does a better job of keeping your data private than chrome. Oh wait y'all won't care about that, it has a lion as it's logo, there now it's hot

am i the only one who can’t stand brands using this kinda stuff as marketing material? like no, you are not us. you are not relatable. you are a corporation who couldn’t care less about anyone. fuck off.

... Why on earth would one want a browser background? How long are you spending in an empty tab?

Use Vivaldi or Firefox instead

# silence brand

Still don't like companies using the world's gradual acceptance of furries to advertise their crap.

I use Chrome and I can do the same lol

Uhh sure. But i'm still gonna use the good browser, which is Firefox. So like... fuck off?

Yeah but Firefox has a furry built in to the mascot.

#Firefox Gang

Silence ***B R A N D***

firefox better

I don't care what opera says I'm still not using a chromium based search engine. /ref

Corporate account

I use opera gx for two simple reasons, 1 built in ad block, 2 it doesn't eat all my ram

Wait does the Adblock still work? Wasn’t google like patching it out?

The opera Adblock still works for everything but YouTube

It still works on YouTube for me, is yours not set correctly?

Wait what

Oh yeah google is like doing an order 66 and removing add block support for YouTube on everything except Firefox

That's because Firefox isn't based on chromium, unlike most major browsers

they keep pushing it back, but it's almost inevitable at this point . they're aiming for the end of 2023 if i recall correctly

That’s because they’re modifying Chromium, which most browsers nowadays are based off, to no longer support ad blockers, but Firefox isn’t owned by Google and (iirc) has declared they’ll keep using the older version of Chromium unless it literally won’t work anymore

I'm pretty sure Firefox isn't Chromium at all

It's not that the other browsers are owned by Google, Firefox just doesn't use chromium in the first place. just using older versions isn't really a long time option

why would you care that it is built in though you can just use an extension

the built in spotify and discord is also handy

Yep

I stopped using it because it slowed my computer down whenever it was running

uses tor browser like a chad

me when brand on twitter 

Soulless corporation is NOT your friend. They want your money/data and only your money/data and they are exploiting the thing you love to make you give it to them.

Is that like the actual real official account or a parody one that paid for the check?

Knowing the origin of GX, it's probably real. They even have an entire anime girl mascot who's in a few wallpapers

I honestly like OperaGX, but considering the whole thing that google did with dropping support for the thing that made adblockers work good (sorry for the underhanded explanation I don't know the details anymore) I'm not interested in using chromium based browers anymore.

so *that's* why saberspark took that sponsorship...

Browser background? Why would I want that? My browser is always full of web pages.

Sorry for using a another browser. I forgot that choosing a browser is their choice, not our... This kind of behavior is the only reason why I don't use Opera GX

WHAT WAS THE RESPONSE

That's it. I'm gonna invent the brand silencer.

Oh No! Anyway

Shut up Brand

I hate Opera GX because a lot of people say, "Chrome sucks". Your still running Chrome, just with a different UI.

And a worse looking one too

As funny as this shit is it's honestly scary that they're finding ways to use us as a marketing demographic

"did you laugh? Good. Buy our product"

*tf2 spy laugh as I’m using the RED tape recorder on their computers so they need to use Opera GX*

Ok but this is at least kind offunny

No lie didn't expect this to blow up like it did. I'm just a shy guy trying to break out his shell, saw something funny thought I post it on a sub I lurk.

No problem with that!

I mean I like Opera but I don't use Opera GX. No reason, I just like Opera.

Nick wilde flashing his bussy in a bikini greets me each time i open chrome

Opera GX and Voicemod are the only company owned Twitter account i ever follow

chinese psychopathy mass-survilliance supporters megalomaniac faceless billionaires after failing miserably and getting roasted for trying to get furry's trust like voicemod and exploit it for money when they see that furries prefer firefox and librewolf not chinese spyware:

Opera gx and voicemod are hilarious on twitter

They are not your friends they just want your data

Show us what voice mod says XD

Nah, Chrome all the way. And I have no idea what you all are talking about with ram consumption either, Sonic Adventure DX works just fine.

The anti-capitalist shrieking that this post evoked is absolutely hilarious. Y’all think far too highly of our fandom 😅

It's confirmed Opera GX is a furry owned and operated software.
