I just saw this on YT last night with my wife, really takes us back to our childhoods, its great lol Lets just hope it reaches the people they hope it does, maybe we could potentially see some of that market use slip away from Chrome.

That is a hint Switch to Ungoogled or Brave on Linux

Switch to Ungoogled or Brave on Linux

It didn't play in Ungoogled Chromium either...
Only in an incognito window.
Must be some privacy setting or extension interfering.

Yes, most likely, I was just kidding.

When embedded X content is also blocked in BNR.nl or NU.nl than it is probably your adblocker blocking embedded content from social media.

A lot of good feedback on the YouTube comments. I guess I'm just behind the times, and not as hip and happening as far as "YouTube Rewind" and what's been posted. I just thought it looked kinda corny.

Some extension interferes for sure. Had no trouble playing embeds anywhere.

They are playing on nostalgia card. There's just one problem though—it will only work on us that are born in 90s and before. Those born after 2000... yeah, I'm not sure they know what the Firefox is or who any of these people are.

While I do know from young age what Firefox is (even before Chrome was released), I only started actively using it last year because that's when it finally became good.

And that is what I was thinking, who was their target audience? As even with my being 67, missed part of what they were trying to convey, and to whom.

I also agree with using Firefox recently, compared to ~12 - 15 years ago when it was constantly crashing and wanting us to send crash reports, and gave up on it.

Same here, I only started using Firefox after reading and watching YouTube videos about privacy.
