A lot of people have already said it in this thread, but I am going to repeat, this is why Firefox is better!

It’s crazy how low the firefox market share is. It’s like 3% worldwide.

For such a good browser too!

On desktop the market share is somewhat higher.

I switched back to Firefox ever since the Quantum release and have been loving it.

I wish Mozilla would spend their resources on the browser instead of wasting time and money on so many other useless projects.

Firefox for life! Well as long as they don’t go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.

  1. Kneecap plugin performance especially for AdBlock plugins claiming it’s for security.
  2. Notify users that those plugins are slowing down Chrome.
  3. ???
  4. Profit… or people hopefully switch

Firefox for life

It’s not just a Chrome-, it’s a Google thing. If you want to install F-Droid or Exodus on Android today, you have to get past Google’s warning that you are putting malware on your device.

as they don’t go evil

Well… anyone who packs their advertising through third-party sites has long since defected to the dark side. It seems to me that the ghost of Brendan Eich is still haunting Mozilla.

I mean, they’ve already started cutting some features I have used… So I’ve got Firefox and Pale Moon on my PC to cover the loss of ftp support. And since some pages don’t work in Firefox in either instance of engine, I have to have Chrome installed…

It genuinely sucks that some websites don’t bother to support Firefox! When you encounter one, you might want to complain to the devs and open a webcompat issue.

I have already encountered some websites which didn’t work with Chrome very well, but did with Firefox. They mentioned it’s because of how Chrome now handles audio, the audio doesn’t start.

If they do, there is always LibreWolf.

Maintaining a browser is an insane amount of work. Without Mozilla working on Firefox, LibreWolf will stagnate and become unusable.

I mean, when an extension needs to block 300 ads…

And some sites are trying to load them again, and again, and again, so the poor plugin has no choice than to go hard on resources.
