I wasn’t paying that much attention, I hope I am not badmouthing mozilla, but I believe I had the same experience with snap install of Firefox on current xbuntu. Maybee a month ago? I am using DDG by default and always remove Google from the search engine list. The thing updates, I do a random search and get the google screen asking me all the questions about cookies and privacy I simply don’t know how to answer. I go into settings and find google set as default search engine. What is even stranger, I can no longer remove google from the list! This seems to me so ridiculous I decide it has to be a bug I am happy to report that when I’ve noticed next update (becase those annoying tabs informing about new features) - I was again able to remove google from the search engine list.

Mozilla acts pretty scary nowadays - maybe naively - I am pinning my hopes on Ladybird.

I am (also I suspect) visiting the WebToons site from EU and not only that I’ve failed to replicate the registration issue ( none required 🤔) - there is an RSS feed 😎. I don’t think it’s my UBlock on FFox fork as the site looks / acts the same on Safari on MacOS…
