Does Firefox break for people? I’ve used it solidly for years without a reinstall.
Same here, but I imagine there are vastly different usage pattens. Maybe Firefox doesn’t support some that well. I couldn’t use any other browser though.
Imagine still using Brave in current year.
Brendan Eich is a piece of shit
Show me another browser that can fully pass the EFF’s and other privacy tests, and I will switch.
Librewolf + arkenfox user.js maximum security profile will pass EFF and about every other test you could think of. The real problem is that security comes with cost to convinence. Multi session cookies and site history suck for security but are really convinent tools for browsing the modern internet.
I like Librewolf a lot, and do use it sometimes on desktop, but they do not offer a mobile version, and there have been a few web pages I have found it was not compatible with.
Never heard of that before so just tried it with Fennec (Firefox fork) and got this result:
Then downloaded Brave and got this result:
This is what I get on a degoogled Android 13 custom ROM. What OS/device are you using? Did you opt out of sending stats to Brave when you installed?
Sounds like its not a very reliable way to gauge privacy, then.
Anon’s baiting the audience of browsers I’ve not even heard of. I’ve googled SigmaOS and still unsure wtf is that, some coupling of productivity app and a browser that paints itself as the whole OS for all working needs, with one window\tab and a $10 subscription, exclusive to Macs, and is unironically called Sigma? I mean, it sounds even more niche than our favorite Firefox forks, folks. I’d not bite, but it was a pretty interesting dive. Thanks, anon.
Idk how you use Firefox wrong but anon here is doing it. Got mine loaded with add-ons n shit never had an issue in years. Imagine actually using brave.
The problem is chromium dominance (edge and chrome mostly) as it makes other browsers vulnerable to the noncompetitive web standard changes that google likes.
Anon works in Brave’s marketing department
Vivaldi has some closed source components to it, so that makes it a “pass” for a lot of us that are more privacy focused. But in performance and features Vivaldi is certainly a good chromium based browser - it’s just not one I choose for myself.
No one has mentioned Vivaldi yet. I haven’t found it slow in the years I’ve used it. It does hog memory with the amount of tabs I open, but no more than any other browser I’ve used. Fortunately it has inactive tab suspenders as an option to help with my bad habits (natively now, and through chrome extensions before that). Also, it is undoubtedly the most visually customizable browser I know, so it being ugly is really you making the sandwich.
If this was just bait, I guess it got me. If not, anon could try Tor if they value privacy, or maybe something minimalist if they really care about performance.
Literally my only gripe with Firefox is that the mobile version on Android frequently plays html5 Videos very choppy and you have to reload the page to get normal fps. Apart from that it’s the obvious, good choice.
I don’t know what they mean about firefox breaking, unless they are on the nightly stream. I don’t recommend being on nightlies if stability is important to you.
I have been using Nightly on Android and Windows for years now and even that doesn’t break. I probably had minor bugs from time to time but so few I don’t even remember any specifically. But I do agree with you of course. On my work laptop I also use stable, just in case.
