    I’ve been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

    But I think it’s finally time to switch to Librewolf.

    I don’t want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is “preserved” through fancy data-laundering.

        They do need to earn some money after all

        If every ad-supported website went dark today, nothing of value would be lost.

          I don’t agree. As a single counter example of many YouTube has a huge wealth of information and content.

          Maybe that value isn’t worth the ads, that is much harder to say for certain. But it is clear that there is some valuable information on some sites that are supported by ads.
