What a strange take. I switched from Opera to Firefox like 15+ years ago (whenever Firefox added extensions, so I could use Mouse Gestures (why I was on Opera in the first place))

I never have issues with compatibility or speed. I don’t use Google products so I don’t have Chrome to compare it to, but it’s certainly as fast as/faster an IE/Edge.

Firefox has been my browser for eons, but I admit I think Edge is faster. It doesn't matter to me in the end though.

Edge feels like the same speed to me, but our household has monster computers!

*Chromium, which is not the same. But I get your point.

[–] weirdwallace75 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, there is a difference, but it's minor and big stuff, like adblocking not working as well, are true of Chrome and Chromium.
