I'm just asking questions, as I haven't personally had many issues. I've had some, but not the ones mentioned by the people here. I feel like people would prefer to have a browser with an ad blocker so I'm interested in what hurdles people are finding that may be stopping them.
Not everything is an argument.
Well... Most do? Lol you can install UBO on anything, or you can use browsers that come with it baked in like Vivaldi.
Ok. You seem like you have an issue with firefox.
Why would you recommend these browsers instead? Do they offer something better?
Well yeah, actually. Tab stacking on most of them and the side panel on Vivaldi that Opera and O:GX use as well (but fuck using Opera.) Built in ad and tracker blocking, too.
Neither can be replicated to suit my taste on Firefox, which seems like what the other user was getting at as well. When Firefox solves those issues with built in functionality I'll gladly switch, or when stock V stops being as good as Fox with UBO. By any metric I can find it appears to be from using them side by side while setting up Firefox and getting used to how I like it. See that's the thing, I've actually used FF and have reasons why I don't like it. I dont believe you've ever even installed the competition to see the difference, if you had you've know what kind of things they offer instead of having to ask.
I guess I'll throw FF a bone though, it's much easier to use the fonts you want than in anything Chromium.
