I’m not loyal to a browser, I’m loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I’d switch overnight
Which is exactly the way it should be. And it’s a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.
Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides
From me it would need more. Chrome has more (mostly privacy related) disadvantages compared to Firefox than that
You don’t care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google’s new invasive advertising system?
I’m currently using Samsung Internet with content blockers. Firefox on my Android phone has micro stutters that are driving me crazy. The only browser that doesn’t have that weird Android scrolling micro stutters are Samsung Internet, weirdly. So I’ve been using it for years even on non Samsung phones.
I still prefer firefox for other reasons
I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.
So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.
It’s even more horrifying when you realize that’s a lower bound. It doesn’t even include dynamically loaded ads from the same domains, and it doesn’t include ads that can’t be blocked because it would stop services from working.
Infuriating, isn’t it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose
if only ublock could stop these Firefox ads
Meanwhile Mozilla: fires 200 workers to pay the CEO 2M :)
There’s LibreWolf, Waterfox, Basilisk, Pale Moon and Pulse. You don’t have to support Mozilla if you don’t want to and at the same you don’t have to submit to Chrome’s supremacy.
I love librewolf
Do you have source?
Happened during COVID haven’t kept up with Mozilla news since.
?? (translate pls)
why am i edge user now i used both of those before
I was on the edge too, but decided to go with brave
firefox for linux machine edge for windows & custom browser for android phone. brave idk
Set up adguard home as your DNS server, no client side adblock needed anymore
uBlock Origin can do more than that though, it’s definitely nice to have depending on your wants and needs.
You do realise ublock origin exists for Chrome as well right?
Yeah but google chrome nerfs it severely.
Not to mention the fact that FF is the only mobile browser to support add-ons
In what way?
Zero mentions of Chrome in that article
You’re right. Well I’m using firefox and haven’t received these warnings so I assumed it was a chrome thing. I could be wrong though.
Does it load google websites (youtube, gmail, drive, etc.) unnoticeably slower than brave? (More than 1s is noticeable for me) That’s the only thing keeping me to switch from brave to firefox
*Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? It’s just a question. Realistically, many depend on google services but still want privacy. Can’t we ask for it??
Hi, for a long time Firefox was seen as slow by windows users when it was in fact Windows Defender slowing it down artificially to “check its activity” - while at the same time on other OSes it was actually faster and more lightweight than Chrome. I think that’s also the reason people downvote you - Firefox isn’t perceived as slow by the wider privacy focused user base (or they don’t care) - even though at some point it might have been on Windows or webpages are still better optimized for Chrome.
I was asking if it would be fast enough to surpass the speed of chromium optimized websites. But looks like there would be some sacrifices. Thank you anyway! Idk why people assume everyone would know about all the things you told
the eternal cycle:
- see “firefox good, chrome bad” posts
- start using firefox
- firefox: crashes randomly when opening some video in fullscreen
- sigh and go back to chrome again
Sounds like a graphic driver problem.
Maybe file a bug?
The firefox process on my machine has been running since 07.23, that is, for almost 2 months now. I just asked it and it feels ok
You have to make some concessions in order to keep your privacy as a human right.
