I used Edge, because it’s genuinely an extremely feature packed browser, but when Google announced the manifest v3, I jumped to Firefox.
Unpopular Lemmy opinion, but I hate it. Firefox always freezes on desktop, especially on YouTube. Firefox on Android feels like it was developed for Android 8.0 and never updated. And the worst part is there’s a bug on the desktop version in the print preview window when it comes to printing shipping labels, so I have not been able to use Firefox for my company for over 8 months now.
I’ve reported the bug every time Firefox updates and the bug persists, but Mozilla doesn’t give a shit. It’s so frustrating.
I’m sorry to hear people having issues with FF. I remember the instability spell it had way back (6, 7 years ago?) but I’ve had zero issues with it on Mac, Linux and Android.
It’s better now than it ever has been, but when you compare it to pretty much any other browser it’s rough around the edges. Still going to stay with it, because fuck Manifest v3.
I just wish label printing would work. I don’t know what Mozilla did to fuck it up, but the lack of response to my bug reports every single time Firefox updates is extremely frustrating. Just acknowledge it! Let me know you’re aware! 8+ months to fix a print preview is crazy to me.
Well I guess I should clarify it’s not the print preview in general. It’s when you try to print a shipping label (6x4 or whatever size it is), and the website is “streaming” it to you. If you DOWNLOAD the label, it prints fine.
I’ve seen plenty of users reporting the issue with eBay, Etsy, Stallion Express, etc. so it’s definitely not site specific.
I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and I feel you. I tend to always have a lot of taps open because that’s just how I like to work. This has been an annoyance on Chrome but a real problem with FF.
I know that Chrome being ram-hungry is a meme but FF is even worse on my machine and that makes it really slow.
But I’ve gotta admit, the amount of configurability is very nice
