Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it’s the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it’s actively fighting Google’s monopoly on web browsing.
Firefox is based. Glad I switched over recently.
Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, and is absolutely better for privacy and security; way more based than Firefox, you should check it out m8 :)
duckduckgo browser is also not chromium
duckduckgo browser is just a webview2 wrapper, which is a edge wrapper, which is just a chromium wrapper, which is…
Firefox for life! Well as long as they don’t go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.
- Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it’s for security.
- Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
- ???
- Profit… or people hopefully switch
/r/firefox is also still closed and opened up on https://fedia.io/m/firefox. So firefox people are cool in general. 🦊
I mean, they’ve already started cutting some features I have used… So I’ve got Firefox and Pale Moon on my PC to cover the loss of ftp support. And since some pages don’t work in Firefox in either instance of engine, I have to have Chrome installed…
I have already encountered some websites which didn’t work with Chrome very well, but did with Firefox. They mentioned it’s because of how Chrome now handles audio, the audio doesn’t start.
It genuinely sucks that some websites don’t bother to support Firefox! When you encounter one, you might want to complain to the devs and open a webcompat issue.
I stand with Firefox.
It’s crazy how low the firefox market share is. It’s like 3% worldwide.
For such a good browser too!
On desktop the market share is somewhat higher.
I switched back to Firefox ever since the Quantum release and have been loving it.
I wish Mozilla would spend their resources on the browser instead of wasting time and money on so many other useless projects.
‘No I dont think I will’
Use Firefox btw
+1 for Firefox, it’s a great experience on both desktop and mobile!
Wish Firefox goes with Vivaldi direction. I can’t try another browser since I 'm so addicted to gestures. Plus a lot more customization is available.
Such a baseless statement. Ad blockers actually improve performance by removing random junk videos, and images from running on the site.
I’m so glad to have switched to Firefox.
Firefox + DuckDuckGo search engine
nah, search.brave.com is the new duckieduckie
The problem is that you are using chrome to begin with
I mean, when an extension needs to block 300 ads…
Why even use Google Chrome 👁👄👁
My work mandates it unfortunately.
They mandate the browser you use? Seems a little overbearing.
Our website works best with Chrome so they want us to use Chrome. Blame the people we outsource to in India, I guess.
Use Vivaldi then. It’s Chromium based, but they care about privacy and there’s tons of ways to configure it
You have no idea.
So I’ve heard good and bad things about Firefox in this thread. The bad things being mainly the performance, and some sites just don’t load…
So my question to you is, If I’m comfortably browsing on Brave with uBlock on, is it really worth the switch right now?
Performance wise widely depends on the site used. Some sites (notably Google ones) are notorious for implementing anti-competitive behavior, where if their website is visited other than a chromium based browser, it slows down or a functionality stops working.
I mean its the whole reason why Microsoft switch from Edge Edge HTML to Edge Chromium/Blink.
The only good reason right now if you want to stick with Chromium based browsers such as Brave is you’re heavily into browser based games as currently Chromium (and it’s older brother, webkit) are the ones that have the best webgl performance, Firefox can do it but not as fast as Chromium and performance impact is very noticeable
Some sites (notably Google ones) are notorious for implementing anti-competitive behavior, where if their website is visited other than a chromium based browser, it slows down or a functionality stops working.
I assume you’re referring to Google meet (and the screen blur functionally), this is an open issue in Firefox for years, Google is using open standards to implement that, it’s an issue in Firefox with how deadlocks work which is an extremely low level part of the browser. So it’s not an easy solve.
There’s a lot to complain about with Google, but this one isn’t their fault. They use non-proprietary implementations and it’s not their fault that Firefox will crash if they allowed Firefox users to use screen blur, the issue isn’t a high priority for Mozilla.
Nah, what I am referring to is Youtube. See here: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/mozilla-exec-says-google-slowed-youtube-down-on-non-chrome-browsers/
This isnt the only one too, there is this: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/28/googles-blocking-new-microsoft-edge-from-accessing-new-design/ or this one https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/19/18148736/google-youtube-microsoft-edge-intern-claims
I actually deleted my google account yesterday. Felt so good. I’m finally free.
What do you use for email?
Not the OP, but I have been using ProtonMail as my personal mail for a long time and it works really well for me.
Mistake #1, using chrome. Just switch to firefox
or bravejust use firefoxI’m on my way.
Brave = chrome
Switch to Firefox period.
What’s wrong with it? Serious question.
Chromium is absolutely massive, and it’s very hard to be sure all the nasty Google telemetry has been ripped out.
Brave is also run by crypto shills, and they were caught auto-editing URLs to be referral links (!) a while back.
You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.
Unless you use a browser that uses its own ad and tracker blocking. I get fewer ads on Vivaldi without adblocking then I get on Firefox with ublock origin.
Runs about half the resources that Firefox takes up too.
Ad block on chromium was supposed to break in January when manifest v3 came around and it doesn’t seem like much has changed on browsers that were prepared for it like Brave and V.
Edge and Chrome are fucked, but who cares about them anyways.
I used vivaldi for a period, but it’s still Chromium. I’m trying to support the only non-chromium option out there. The more users Firefox has, the better. Chrome and Chromium are so dominant, it’s seriously problematic.
Unless you were running Firefx with outdated uBO filters, I doubt that. Vivaldi is a memory hog for me.
Strange, it’s literally half of Firefox with equivalent tabs.
Unpopular opinion (maybe) - But i’m using Edge, works with chrome extensions, I use BingAI for quick searches and the cleanest looking vertical tabs I’ve used without elbow grease and extensions
No, you can be quite certain that’s an unpopular opinion. And it should be.
