If you’re still using Chrome… What was it like hitting retirement age before 2008?

Jokes aside, Chrome really is the bottom of my list in the last several years. I’ve gotten the best functionality out of Firefox in the last while. Anyone else different?

I’ve been using Firefox since forever. It had its downs, but generally I’m happy with it. And with Multi account containers they’ve made sure I stay for life, it saves so much time.

How do multi-account containers differ from Chrome profiles?

Being able to have different containers in the same window?

When did they implement the containers?

I’m stuck with chrome for work because everyone wants their integrated Google Workplace services to operate seamlessly (and because that’s what’s approved in our security P&P).

If it doesn’t work with other WebKit or chrome-based browsers, then we’re back to “extend and extinguish” and your company should run as far away from that locked-in garbage as fast as possible.

I do a lot of casting from my desktop to the Chromecast connected to my TV. I have not been able to successfully cast from Firefox. I would love to find a solution though.

I preferred Brave but I’m side-eyeing it the more news that comes out about Chromium.

I’ve been trying to switch to Firefox but the tab groups suck and I rely on that pretty heavily so I’m stuck in chromium. Every tab group thing I’ve tried on Firefox is just worse.

I use Firefox at home, but at work I use Edge as we use Microsoft for a lot of services. It’s actually surprisingly not bad ha ha.

If only Firefox rendered my CSS exactly the same like in Chrome. I don’t know if they fixed it but last time developing a web site in FF was real annoying because when I made it look just right in FF some minor things were slightly off in Chrome so I had to keep going back and forth.

I don’t work in hardly anything touching a front end, but shouldn’t you support all major browsers for your rendering? So, checking it in several browsers all the time.

I totally get the difference between should and do, so honestly asking. There is shit I should do, and there is shit that there is time to do. Checking all browsers on all updates may not be it.

Vivaldi uses the same engine as Chromium, and the company has been founded by ex Opera developers.

If FF isn’t for you then maybe give Brave a try. It’s basically a de-googled Chrome.

Isn’t Chromium degoogled Chrome?
