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?
The big one is task (thread) isolation. Let me dig up some sources and get back to you,
Legends say you are still out for milk.
I forgor. This is the post I was referring to. It’s well-researched and quite fascinating, actually.
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.
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.
I will not stand for this Firefox slander! I have been using it for literal decades, and never had an issue with it that was not the fault of the website or a shitty extension. No idea why anon thinks it is unstable
Because Anon is a moron
Since when is WebKit exclusive to MacOS?
Firefox and all its forks break every two months requiring a refresh every two months
Meanwhile me here with the same Firefox profile since 2017
Why am I not surprised they’re a Brave fan.
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?
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.
Brave is literally chromium you half baked onion
I’ve been using Firefox for like 15-17 years now, I honestly can’t even remember when I started, but its never let me down.
I’m no power user with it or anything, but its always done exactly what I needed it to.
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.
Brave is basically all of the above. I genuinely don’t get how anyone is braindead enough to fall for their “privacy” advertising.
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.
Also used to be a big opera fan back in the day. But it just isn’t what it used to be…
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.
I followed the devs to Vivaldi and I’ve been very happy.
Which is also just reskinned chromium like almost any other browser. Which is why I use Safari on Apple devices and Firefox anywhere else.
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.
Waterfox is a great Firefox Fork imo
