If appealing to furries can get Firefox more adoption, I say do it.

Don't forget to include uwublock origin with your install.

Does uwublock also block owo too, or do I have to install a different blocker?

I'll just go ahead and assume that the downvotes are because it's fucking twitter (and @firefox@mozilla.social is still 404) not some kind of animosity towards furries.

It is not Twitter that the link leads to, but Instagram.

[–] kbal@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not that it makes much difference but yeah, I guess that explains why they're saying "on X" and not just assuming it.

[–] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh I beg your pardon. You meant the mentioning of X by that account on Insta, while I was thinking you meant the page that this post on Lemmy leads to (Insta).

[–] kbal@fedia.io 4 points 2 years ago

No, you were right. Just saying, I think of them as pretty much equivalent anyway. It's just bizarre that mozilla isn't making better use of its own mastodon server.
