Made it my default today. Makes the internet actually usable with a few add-ons some brilliant people have made, for free.
do not
I like how the “don’t dead, open inside” at the end just works.
My friends who don’t use chrome like =)
too bad they haven’t flocked from reddit yet
Somehow saying Firefox makes everyone quiet and nervous wherever I go.
Or linux
Or lemmy
I always install Firefox on all the work computer kiosks.
I’m doing my part one page visit at a time.
I actually recently switched from brave to Firefox
It’s going pretty nice so far Plus I love the customization open source stuff always has
Look up Firefox CSS customizations. It’s amazing how much you can tailor.
I thought brave ended up having privacy issues? Is this no longer the case? I just recently switched to ff after being a chrome user for so long (went from FF to chrome long ago)
Brave is like Apple. Privacy is just a marketing tactic.
Lol so what I read was correct lol
FF isn’t private out the box either.
Its so much better, especially if you aren’t already lost in Google’s sauce.
I’m an Android user, but luckily I never really got lost in google’s sauce.
I’m pretty sure I used Chrome early on in my Android days but not for very long.
Currently, and for the foreseeable future, my primary browser on Android is Firefox Nightly and I do run firefox on all my computers (I do use Linux).
Nowadays i use cromite on android and firefox on desktop
I’m lost in Google’s sauce and it’s great
A sacrifice of body and soul
Saw my first youtube ad in years on pc today… Dark times.
What happened?
And it’s okay. You can cry on my shoulder. Come 'ere. It’s gonna be alright…
Downloaded a new chrome ad blocker extension and all was well again. I know I’m gonna have to switch eventually, just putting it off…
Yikes, it takes about five minutes. Just do it. You can import everything. The themes are so much better.
OOF.
Do you remember when Quantum came out and broke a ton of addon compatibility? Pepperidge Farm remembers
It got better, those were dark days though…
Didn’t upgrade till my extensions were ported to the new system. That left me vulnerable for a while (security wise)
there are also those annoying nerds who think they’re cool cause they use opera GX that make me cringe so badly…
Vouch for Waterfox tbh, really great
or librrwolf
Or mull - made by mullvad, the VPN guys. It has all the tor privacy without the tor network and gets updates because, unlike tor, it’s not based on the ESR.
My friends have gotten so used to me talking about Firefox that whenever they complain about Chrome they immediately say “Don’t” when I start typing
A while back firefox removed some of the features that let me manually handle the cookies I allow and block. It’s not great but I’ll be using Opera for a while.
as someone who used firefox for the last 20 years or more, I just switched to edge about 6 months ago and I’ve been liking it.
Sir you have entered FOSS space, please state your intents
Just as a note: edge can be hardened to a point (clear almost all data on closing) where it’s better than Firefox if you are interested in security over privacy or ease of use. If you are already bound to windows, installing Firefox offers marginal privacy in exchange for more attack surface.
But why even bother? If you’re privacy conscious and still insist on a chromium based browser just use Brave.
Use things that respect your privacy by default. Otherwise you have to be in the habit of actively opting out whenever new updates or features are added and anybody who would be that diligent about it is probably already using Firefox or Brave anyway.
Can you guys just allow casual people to interact with this website? Holy shit.
Edge is entirely as privacy violating as chrome
It’s also chrome, just working for another company.
Nothing better than Google and Microsoft sniffing your traffic.
That’s just Chrome
Or as I have recently taken to calling it Microsoft plus Chrome.
Do two negatives make a positive? Clearly not. Checkmate matheists.oh I know. with extra Microsoft stuff. I switched to bing too!
What the actual fuck? This a troll account?
no sir. it started with work and trying out bing cause of work with msft. then it expanded with their rewards for searches and paying for gamepass that way. then I got invited to their early release of the chatgpt equivalent integration. it’s just kind of grown.
