- Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
- Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
- Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.
I kinda hate how some sites don’t allow firefox users
Me: “Import bookmarks from another browser”
But… there were some valid criticisms under the comments section of popular FireFox posts in subreddits like r/Technology. The gist was lot of the areas of FireFox (including the interface elements) are archaic failing to even recognise simple features like Safari’s Reader List to incorporate or to listen directly from the community and the urge to modernise FireFox itself like Chromium.
Firefox autofill is dog shit
Does this really need an article?
Step one: open chrome
Step two: google firefox download
Step three: download firefox
Step 4: use firefox
This article talks about additional things such as importing data, pros and cons of Firefox, and other alternatives. I know many people who are not tech savvy enough to even know how to change a browser.
However, considering that this is posted on Lemmy where most users are already tech savvy (enough to at least start using Lemmy) and more privacy and open source focused (enough to at least stop using reddit), I do agree that this does feel a bit redundant for me at least.
