      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.

      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?

          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.

      Brave, for crypto enthusiasts who like to talk about privacy and security but don’t actually have those things or know what they are.

      Does it still have advertisements?

    Brave is basically all of the above. I genuinely don’t get how anyone is braindead enough to fall for their “privacy” advertising.

    arc windows might not have all the features arc mac os has but it’s still a solid browser. love the split view and how i can hid the tabs on side.

    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.

    B-but I like my Chinese botnet! It’s the smoothest browser around with tons of nifty features for browsing built-in and was the first to introduce tabs back then.

        Used to hype up Whatsapp long long ago, now it’s shit. Used to hype up Opera long long ago, now it’s shit.

        I’m gonna do everyone a favor and never be excited about anything ever again. I will single-handedly manifest the end of enshittification.

          Which is also just reskinned chromium like almost any other browser. Which is why I use Safari on Apple devices and Firefox anywhere else.

    The only issues I’ve had with Firefox is when some websites, like Teams, doesn’t “support” it. Even though if you change the browser’s identifier (there’s an extension for that) then it works fine, they just don’t “officially support” it.

      I’m also like 90% sure that “we don’t support it” is artificial, been meaning to test it.

      My Firefox install at the office works fine with Teams but will refuse to load at home. I think it might be a version issue, but I’ll try to establish parity to make sure it’s not Microsoft being fucky thinking they can shaft anyone using Firefox/Linux outside of the office.

    Firefox actually doesn’t break. And it’s also not Chrome with a layer of paint. So that’s the obvious solution. Degoogled Chromium is the other.
