• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla’s focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google’s ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.
To me its currently the opposite.
I use Firefox for personal use, but I exclusively use Chromium for work just because of the amazing Tab Groups feature. I can’t work without it anymore
Well on your personal Firefox try Simple Tab Groups and Tree Style Tabs.
I can’t use chrome because it doesn’t have these extensions.
If you’re recommending these, then I don’t think you’ve tried chrome’s tab groups. These two extensions are awful compared to it
But thanks for suggesting
I used to use chrome’s tab groups, they were definitely helpful. Until I wanted to organize things. Tab Groups lacks a lot of the features of the extensions I’m suggesting. I spent lots of time looking for feature rich options in Chrome before ultimately switching to Firefox because it was simply better.
Chrome’s session/history manager also isn’t great, so if I had multiple windows open I had to be careful about how I closed them, otherwise I could easily lose a lot of my tabs. This also wasn’t possible with forced shutdowns.
You can literally customise it to show the home button. I know because I have done this.
It’s still there, it’s just off by default since people rarely use it these days.
Go to Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars. Pick the Home button or whatever else you want on the toolbar, and just drag it up there. Some items might be in the overflow menu on the right.
I can’t comprehend how someone can be able to self host something but not able to find literally the first configurable option on the “home” settings page.
What’s the use case for a home button? Why not just set the default url for new tabs?
Librewolf is better
The only issue with Librewolf is that it fails at rendering some websites. For example windy.tv
Brave is good too, for the moment.
Also, report the issue so that the devs know about it
Brave is good
It’s actually much better. At least, it isn’t from corrupt Mozilla Corp.
Also, be prepared for an heavy downvote rain.
Brave seems extremely shady. Every time I read something new about that company, it just paints a worse picture of them.
Most recently, this: https://stackdiary.com/brave-selling-copyrighted-data-for-ai-training/
It’s getting more and more like chrome.
Just because Google broke the most trafficked site on the internet for Firefox doesn’t mean its a bad browser. Hell that’s a ringing endorsement.
I still don’t see that they broke FF specifically, they’re fighting back against adblockers, including the ones in browsers like brave.
They added a literal sleep(5000) to the javascript for youtube accessed via firefox.
- Hasn’t been happening on my Firefox
- There have been reports on other browsers as well, so this isn’t a firefox specific issue (p sure I’ve seen some people that use chrome claim they had this issue)
From what I’ve gathered from other threads, it’s meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users. It appears though that Firefox users ended up in the crossfire, while uBO can be rigged to block the sleep() function in that case, nullifying the wait.
I didn’t notice they broke it. The website works on my Firefox as usual. Maybe you lack some plugins? (like ublock origin, sponsor block, age restriction bypass…)
Personally I’d rather stop using any Google services, than handing them a Chrome monopoly. Google is already way to dominant IMO.
You should stop using Google services anyway. They are terrible for privacy and for your digital freedom in general. And there are so many alternatives.
I absolutely try to limit it. I use Qwant for search. I don’t use gmail except to register Android.
In android I don’t use google services like calendar. I only use Google play for 1 app that is only available through Google play.
My biggest dependency is probably YouTube, which I must admit I use a lot.
