Valve must be doing something right behind the scenes. I haven’t encountered a hacker since May and play regularly. To be fair, back then the game was unplayable.

For ad-free youtube on Android TV: SmartTube

For ad-free youtube on mobile Android devices: ReVanced

For desktop: Firefox + uBlock origin

Same but with scanners. Plugged in a canon protable scanner, which requires their software to work on windows while it just works on linux. The cherry on top was that when I then had to make a single pdf of the things i scanned, I just ran pdfunite file1.pdf file2.pdf ... output.pdf and guess what… it also just worked.

I’ve been using FF for years now, probably since the quantum update. Tbh, the thing that prevented me to switch to any other browser since is the ctrl+tab functionality. I HATE cycling through tabs in any other order than by most recent tab. I didn’t find a setting to change it on chrome when I was forced to use it for work, but in FF it’s easily found in the settings and probably was on by default at some point as I don’t recall ever changing it.

In recent years the privacy aspect and the fact that it isn’t made by google have also played a role in why I’ve stuck with firefox. Also extension support on android, although the browser is still a bit slower than chrome on mobile.
