That will stop working way sooner than you’d like. Freezing a browser isn’t tenable at all, not just for features websites are expecting but also security issues. There’s a reason every browser except Safari has a 6 weeks release cycle.
Firefox uses the Web Extensions standard, just like Chrome. There are minor differences here or there but largely the same, tech wise.

Some people need a high-five. With a billiard table. In the face.
Anything that is Facebook/Meta is in its own container for me. That way they can “track” as much as they want, they won’t see new or even accurate Info.
Not to discredit your experience but I don’t find long pressing the image (or whatever other content), then pressing share and whatever app you want to share with hard to find or remember.
You’re not an idiot. Nobody expects three-year-old posts between ones created 5 minutes ago. The sorting algorithm here on Lemmy is absolute dogshit.
There is nothing they can do to fuck up your experience, ESPECIALLY on Lemmy though. Threads is a completely different concept from Lemmy and activity pub is well defined.
The only thing they could do is just not moderate threads and therefore putting spam in everyone’s feeds. That’s about it. I don’t think they’re leaving that unmoderated.
They don’t get more data because they’re federated. They literally the exact same amount of data as they do know just by scraping mastodon or Lemmy. They’re an even player in this market. Somehow you all keep forgetting that. If you don’t want meta do have data from activity pub, you being here already violates that ideal.
This behavior is why the fediverse alienate users and makes it hostile for new people to join.
They didn’t do anything, yet. Give them the chance but start with 2 strikes on their account already. They fuck up, THEN you defederate. Innocent until proven otherwise.
Edit: go on, downvote me. Show me your face. Show me how you’re all against growth on Lemmy and niceness to each other.
And another attempt at blanket hating on a platform for no reason. Be more original, people.
Edit: if YOU don’t like it, sure block it. But don’t force your backwards decision on everyone else.
