me and mozilla go way back, to the days of netscape navigator. we’re old friends… even through the worst of times (aol ownership), i’ve stood by my best bud.
Lol, not me! I dropped that shit when it was the slowest, most bloated memory hog! Luckily, it’s much improved now, and is easily the best browser out there…
I had my first website tell me today that I can’t access their domain on FF. It was Adobe. Fuck em
Please report the issue at https://webcompat.com/
You’re better off without them, for sure!
I really want to switch back but… honestly: Chromium Edge, despite a few annoying features being shoved in your face, is actually a really nice browser IMO. It’s definitely going to take some time to get used to FF again.
I’m so used to things like vertical tabs, icon only bookmarks, etc… I know I can change a lot in FF myself, but having to add custom css and whatnot on every device I use FF on is just annoying.
I remember back then when people stop using FF because it used more PC resources than the OS itself and all started using Chrome because it was fast and lightweight.
I love this meme! Haha
Friendship regain?! I cant believe!
I wish Firefox had native tab grouping. That’s the only thing I miss from chrome.
Please firefox just add the goddamn custom key bindings
And the ability to be able to Import and Export your bookmarks freely without having to use their website to do so.
What? I just migrated all my Chrome stuff to Firefox without using any website.
(An additional point I should have mentioned last time, I’m speaking about the mobile version, not the desktop version.)
Last time I checked you need to have one of their accounts to export/import bookmarks and stuff. I would be totally glad to be wrong about this though, if I can export all my stuff from DuckDuckGo and import it into Firefox mobile.
Edit: Five minutes after replying I found this article giving hope for the future of Firefox mobile.
I actually uninstalled Firefox a few months ago on my mobile devices because certain websites for my work were not displaying well now thankfully they have been fixed. Installed the Iceraven fork which is amazing.
I use edge for work and firefox for everything else.
Am I out of the loop on what the issue with chromium is? Currently I mainly use ungoogled chromium on my desktop.
It gives Google a huge amount of control over the internet, like recently when they thought about getting websites to add DRM so they could only be accessed from official Chrome browsers on authorized devices and such. They also added ad tracking directly into the browser, which might not be in ungoogled chromium but it’d be more work for them to remove it, and maybe later google makes it required to use chromium. And if they get their way with the website DRM they could try to force everyone to use specifically Google Chrome and then they can track everyone. It’s important that we have other browsers such as Firefox so that Google can’t just do whatever they want.
Only thing that sucks is needing an account to sync your stuff around. Brave does this through a “sync chain” using a QR code/some big passcode, all without an email account. Not to mention the built-in adblocker, so less extensions are needed.
If Firefox had this, I’d come back.
At this point, there’s no real clear winner. All browser companies have some sort of shit to them. It’s really a matter of which bowl of shit you’re willing to tolerate.
Mozilla is not a browser company, it’s a browser non-profit organization (well, the structure is a bit more complicated, but it is ultimately governed by a non-profit organization).
On my phone Firefox is terrible. It closes the app when I try to watch video full screen. When I reopen Firefox after the video crash all but 1/4 of the screen is black, and it doesn’t respond to clicks on the tabs button to close or open new tabs.
So if it’s a YouTube video, I try to view it in the YouTube app. Firefox will open YouTube to the home page but leaves me to find the video again within the YouTube app.
Click the navigate with GPS button inside the browser, and it opens Google maps to the last destination instead of the address you were looking at in Firefox. That made me late to 2 appointments before I figured out what was happening.
The auto fill is terrible or non-existent. The password management feature got stuck in a loop the other day and I had to force close.
Fuck Firefox. Maybe it’s better on a new phone, but my experience with Firefox has been absolutely dog shit.
Isn’t Firefox on android/iOS not using it’s own engine but rather a modded version of chrome or something? I might be wrong
Only on iOS
Then I hope you enjoy spyware.
Well… If you’re okay with a unique browser ID for each installation or using a browser that contacts a 3rd party analytics company no matter your settings then Firefox is for you. Just fire Wireshark and see for yourself how much snitching Firefox does.
Also Mozilla isn’t what people paint it to be, they’ve shady finances and are now hosting code at Github. Mozilla allegedly stands for a bunch of stuff that is be definition incompatible with hosting code on GitHub as it is
If you’re serious about having a decent browser pick Ungoggled Chromium or LibreWolf.
you don’t seem to be friend with graphic design neither. :)
A little young for the wu-tang username aren’t you?
I think you are the youngest, being upset on a critic, while it was true, it was before all just a quip.
I’m hosted on lemmy.ninja, so you know, staying in the Asian folklore mixed with “pop” culture…
Just so that I can keep track of the score, I actually moved from Firefox to DuckDuckGo, because Firefox was considered not respecting privacy. This was not so many years ago.
Are we now saying today that the tables are turned? Or just that both are bad, but one is less bad?
ff forks like librewolf are based

Heard good things about Librewolf.
Everything > Chrome/Chromium
Everything > Chrome/Chromium
Today.
Previously, it was Firefox > Everything, so that’s why I was asking.
