It’s a great ad! Sadly the underlying message is simply not true. Regardless of the browser you use (and I do use firefox) the old internet is no longer there. Now it’s just four apps full of brain dead content. It’s quite sad actually.

It’s still there, folks have just gotten so used to using those same four shit apps that they forgot how to surf the web.

I used to read a lot of comics on the internet, pretty sure I hit mid to high 60s of bookmarks. 80% of them no longer exist.
Even the newer sites for things like finding niche products have been wiped, I used Massdrop for an age to get some good tech, now its owned by corsair and sells absofuckinglutely nothing.
The modern rules of the internet are “If it doesnt make more money than god then it’s not worth shit, if it does, then it’s bought out by a shady conglomerate then used to harvest your data”

The old internet is still around. It just doesn’t show very high on most search engines because of SEO bullshittery

I started blocking sites like Facebook, Amazon, Instagram and every AI slop in my search results and it made everything so much better.
