Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.
/r/firefox is also still closed and opened up on https://fedia.io/m/firefox. So firefox people are cool in general. 🦊
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 :)

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!
Mistake #1, using chrome. Just switch to firefox ~~or brave~~ just use firefox
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.
What a cunning plan!
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.
I use Firefox because it doesn't steal my data OR lie to me.
And foxes are cool animals 🦊 Way cooler than whatever a chrome is.
Firefox is actually a red panda. Which frankly are even cooler than foxes.
Slowing down their ability to profit off of you, that is.
If you wanna keep using adblocks you should start moving away from Chrome/Chromium-based browsers as soon as possible!!
Ditch chrome
That's a low-level Microsoft style move. Didn't thought Google will do it
You must not know a lot about Google, lol.
Yup. They did away with the “Do no evil” mantra quite a while ago.
Fun fact, aside from the annoying "this page is better in Chrome" messages on multiple Google sites, Google literally serves a totally different page to Firefox mobile users than mobile Chrome users. It's not a compatible issue, because of you take the user agent settings to claim it's Chrome, magically you get the full Google site. Also add much as I hate to reference Edge... it had significantly better performance on YouTube until magically it didn't anymore. It's almost as if Google purposely made competing browsers slower on their sites, when Edge and more recent Firefox releases work faster on non Google sites. Microsoft even gave up on the original Edge and just forked Chrome.
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?
Firefox had some issues like a decade ago on their old engine. In the past few years, they seriously stepped up their game.
If you're a normal user, you probably won't even notice the difference between Firefox and Chomium-based browsers. Sometimes I come across a weird website that doesn't want to load properly, so I'll open a Chrome tab for a few minutes to access it, but that's increasingly rare.
For web development, I generally prefer Chome's debug tools, but do all my normal browsing with Firefox.
You're posting on Lemmy and you joined seven days ago, so it's a safe bet that you have some opinions about Reddit. So I'll put it this way: if you have a problem with the way Reddit concentrates power in the hands of u/Spez and want to support alternatives because of that, then you should also have a similar problem with how Chromium-based browsers concentrate power in the hands of Google and reject Brave in favor of Firefox.
I've been using Firefox for years now and the only issue I've had is that at work I can't download particularly large files from John Deere operations centre so I use another browser just for that. Everything else, which is literally everything as far as I'm concerned, has been a better experience for me than Chrome ever was. Also Brave uses chromium which is cringe.
I'd say it's worth the switch as if you care about privacy, Firefox just has more tools available to this end
In the next 6 to 12 months Google is removing most adblock functionality - switch to Firefox (also Firefox mobile is amazing with uBlock origin )
They're not allowing remote connections for security , but you need a lot of 3rd party data to keep track of lists of ever changing malicious websites and ads to block
Is this real? Lmao
