To the people, is Firefox still the go to browser? Is there something better out there for the average person? I’ve heard good things about internet explorer.
Still the best IMO, and how is it not for the average person? It’s just as fully featured and easy to use as anything else.
First of all, I’d really love to know who told you anything, let alone good, about IE.
If anything, Firefox is in the best spot it’s ever been. Any time I’ve encountered an issue with it, it was because Google are actively crippling the web experience for the rest of the internet
They may mean Edge.
Unless you’re using android where on tablets it still doesn’t support multi tab browsing but is an overblown phone app.
You got me there, it is really frustrating that I have to open Edge if I want to have two tabs open at the same time.
What do you mean by multi-tab browsing.
I’ve used Firefox on Android tablets and while it does have a “phone app” UX to it, it works fine; specifically tabbed browsing is not an issue.
Every other android browser supports tab bar for browsers on wide devices , the one exception FF.
I want a desktop type experience on my tablet not a phone UX.
Can’t say I’ve had experience with that, but I believe you
What version are you using? Firefox Beta for Android supports multi-tabs on both tablet and phone.
doesn’t support multi tab browsing
What do you mean? Having multiple tabs open at once?
I think they’re comparing chrome’s user interface which, on a tablet, switches to a more desktop like interface with the tab bar instead of the tab counter. It is something I wish firefox would also implement but not a deal breaker.
They do have a tab bar now, though it’s recent.
No, i mean like a tab bar like every other android browser and desktop.
Internet Explorer is pretty much dead, replaced by Edge. Edge is better than the early days when Explorer was a joke but I still prefer Firefox by a mile
Inb4 a crypto bro recommends Brave
Don’t feed the troll.
Yes, but just plain firefox
As opposed to what? Chocolate Firefox?
knockoffs like Brave
That is a chrome derivative, not Firefox
Nah, Floorp is Firefox with the features Firefox is missing.
Doesn’t floorp have some weird licensing thing going on?
Yes.
It’s my daily driver. There are a few sites that don’t work well with it, but those are very rare in my experience. Latest one to break on me was State Farm. And so what. Fuck State Farm.
Firefox has been my preferred browser since 0.9. But whenever I help set up a relative’s or friend’s computer, I always install chrome as the default browser. With the lack of adherence to web standards and most sites only testing against chrome, it just makes chrome/chromium the obvious choice if you don’t want to deal with the occasional breakage.
I’ve used Firefox daily for probably a decade now and I can think of a single website it’s ever not worked properly with that entire time.
That’s great and all but if your experience was typical, Mozilla wouldn’t have created webcompat.com and it wouldn’t be as busy as it appears to be. We can probably work around such issues but I wouldn’t expect non-techies to do the same.
Eh, I’m gonna be honest, I just don’t see it as an issue that justifies not putting it on other people’s computers, as the original comment was about.
And I just tried to recreate a few issues from that site, and personally can’t. Sure, I know, anecdotal, but I just strongly feel like it’s a flimsy reason to not recommend it to a friend or relative.
What about cars? Does Lemmy like cars now?

IE is the best!
Unrelated, would you mind taking a few facebook quizzes and how’s your bank accound doing?
