FireFox and all of the forks breaks within 2 months

Sounds like a skill issue to me, guy

Yeah, I can’t remember the last time I had to do anything to “fix” Firefox.

My only issue with Firefox is some extensions get a little fussy in-between updates, but it seems to be a Linux issue more than a Firefox one.

And my problem is most definitely a skill issue.

It’s also objectively less secure than Chromium, which is hard to admit.

On what objective measures?

I was running into a blue screen ONLY when using Firefox.

A month later, I decided to make sure one of my memory sticks was fully seated. Issue resolved.

Yeah, Firefox works fine for me, problem is a good number of websites on the modern web just actually do not work correctly on Firefox because theyre designed by lazy morons.

Sometimes this can be fixed by just spoofing it and presenting as chrome, other times not.

In Opera’s defense, I have considered installing it for its game recommendation thingy alone and not actually using it as a browser, simply because modern online game stores basically recommend either massively marketed stuff or seemingly completely random 5 dollar trash, or stupid meme game that is extremely popular right now that is basically also trash and is forgotten about when Twitch moves on to the next thing.

In the past I remember Opera’s game thingy actually being decent. Any current users that can attest to this?

I have been using firefox for close to ten years and somehow I never encountered a website that didn’t work at all.

It depends on what websites you frequent. The vast majority work fine (though they are still heavily optimized for Chrome and not much else), but there are some exceptions like publishers of educational material or other websites with overzealous ideas of web based DRM. I’ve seen some banners that straight up tell you “You need to upgrade to a proper browser” and then link to the Chrome installer…

Only crappy websites cause problems, and unless it’s something you really need, why bother?

Apple Business Manager and JAMF both will refuse to work in Firefox for me. GoDaddy frequently complains too.

Dude is smoking crack. I’ve been using firefox for, shit, I don’t even know how long, but it’s gotta be creeping on at least fifteen years. Feels like forever any way.

Never had any kind of problem like he’s yakking about. Not once.

I’ve been using Firefox since it was Mozilla Navigator and I can’t say I’ve ever had “Piece of shit always broken” with it unless you count websites these days building with Chrome in mind, in which case I don’t blame Mozilla.

That’s my experience as well. Maybe it has more trouble on Windows though. I haven’t had much experience with it there.

I’ve been using it regularly since (I think) one of the 0.9 Betas that came on the CD bundled with a magazine I got from my local library.

Literally never had to deal with issues OP is dealing with

Only time I’ve had an issue with Firefox requiring >5 minutes of diagnosis was when a shared library was deleted during a freeware uninstall. What an odd piece of criticism.

Also, brave’s president is right wing, and I dislike that. Like “pls no step on snek” right wing.
