    You guys were friends with Chrome?

      Seriously! Even back in 2007 I was all “chrome is faster? Great, now Firefox has some competition” I never switched to chrome. You couldn’t pay me to use that privacy nightmare.

        I used it when it was new and google didn’t seem so bad. Google even sent me one of the original Chromebook prototypes (CH-47) before they launched as a product for sale. i don’t know when it started to become clear that google was going evil, but around 10 years ago it was really obvious where things were headed.

      FF has been my daily driver for at least a decade, but I gotta test my web apps in everything :/

        I kinda prefer Vivaldi for testing chromium-based browsers. I guess MS Edge would be a similar experience too nowadays

      so many webapps and logins dont work properly in ff. or lets call it AdFox for now while they’re still selling us out to alphabet. so autism is when you just see black or white. chrome isnt bad overall…they have a UX, AdFox isnt good overall for too many reasons. i hope we’ll get a real browser before the web is dead.

        When have you used Firefox the last time, 10 years ago?

          Right? What kind of wildly niche activities are people doing where FF doesn’t work? All of my stuff works, and I’ve never had any weirdness. I browse art, shop online, do social media (a little), check my email, use auction sites, and watch Plex and other streaming services.

          There must be an entire corner of the internet I don’t even know about.

      Honestly? I’m lazy, my adblocker still works so that’s enough for me

      Chromium does have a clean UI. I still use Librewolf but the Firefox UI is a mess

        What UI? Both browsers render one line with tabs and the address bar below. They’re almost identical.

          For reals. This is the browser equivalent of being concerned that your car only has 14-way adjustable seats instead of 16, or whatever the marketing team dreamed up last year.

    I need the quick and easy profile switching management in Firefox like I have in Chrome and I’ll never look back.

        That looks like something similar to what I’d find useful, but the requirement to download a separate binary to use the plugin feels like 100% malware and I will not touch it.
