      Lol, not me! I dropped that shit when it was the slowest, most bloated memory hog! Luckily, it’s much improved now, and is easily the best browser out there…

    I really want to switch back but… honestly: Chromium Edge, despite a few annoying features being shoved in your face, is actually a really nice browser IMO. It’s definitely going to take some time to get used to FF again.

    I’m so used to things like vertical tabs, icon only bookmarks, etc… I know I can change a lot in FF myself, but having to add custom css and whatnot on every device I use FF on is just annoying.

    Only thing that sucks is needing an account to sync your stuff around. Brave does this through a “sync chain” using a QR code/some big passcode, all without an email account. Not to mention the built-in adblocker, so less extensions are needed.

    If Firefox had this, I’d come back.

    Am I out of the loop on what the issue with chromium is? Currently I mainly use ungoogled chromium on my desktop.

      It gives Google a huge amount of control over the internet, like recently when they thought about getting websites to add DRM so they could only be accessed from official Chrome browsers on authorized devices and such. They also added ad tracking directly into the browser, which might not be in ungoogled chromium but it’d be more work for them to remove it, and maybe later google makes it required to use chromium. And if they get their way with the website DRM they could try to force everyone to use specifically Google Chrome and then they can track everyone. It’s important that we have other browsers such as Firefox so that Google can’t just do whatever they want.

        I think you are the youngest, being upset on a critic, while it was true, it was before all just a quip.

        I’m hosted on lemmy.ninja, so you know, staying in the Asian folklore mixed with “pop” culture…

    I actually uninstalled Firefox a few months ago on my mobile devices because certain websites for my work were not displaying well now thankfully they have been fixed. Installed the Iceraven fork which is amazing.

    Then I hope you enjoy spyware.

    Well… If you’re okay with a unique browser ID for each installation or using a browser that contacts a 3rd party analytics company no matter your settings then Firefox is for you. Just fire Wireshark and see for yourself how much snitching Firefox does.

    Also Mozilla isn’t what people paint it to be, they’ve shady finances and are now hosting code at Github. Mozilla allegedly stands for a bunch of stuff that is be definition incompatible with hosting code on GitHub as it is

    If you’re serious about having a decent browser pick Ungoggled Chromium or LibreWolf.
