Congrats to Firefox, it really has made substantial improvements over the years.
Now all we need is that it provides a better experience than Chrome.
Meh, I'll be honest and say that I'm not impressed by chrome in modern day. While I hate Microsoft, edge is a nicer browser to use than chrome, and that's saying something
I agree, but I think that the normies like to use Chrome because... that's what everyone is using, so I am eager to see how FF can give a better experience to the normal user.
Normies (also me) use Gmail, it's easy when you login to your browser and you're partially already authenticated everywhere else.
Same goes for android.
FTFY
You're correct, but the majority of normies don't care. A lot of people don't naturally feel a strong impulse towards privacy, so the fact that Google knows everything about them doesn't really bother them.
@tehcpengsiudai @Justaregulardude2001 the Gmail oauth is super easy when applying for jobs like Glassdoor or indeed though, I understand the appeal. I only use chrome when necessary, and highly recommend blokada 5 to block background API access
