I reinstalled my pc and didn't install chrome. Firefox is pretty decent.

I remember going from IE to Firefox when they came out with tabs way back. We probably shouldn't have switched to chrome en masse in hindsight.

    Nah, Firefox went through a buggy resource hungry slow period for sure. Chrome was miles better, I'm making the jump back. I kind of have been by default on Ubuntu, but I'll probably switch on phone too.

    I've been using it on my phone for a fair bit. I still run into issues from time to time where pages don't render properly, but that could also have to do with the adblocking which is a major advantage of Firefox. I only use Chrome now if Firefox doesn't work.

    I used to use Brave for years, and tried Kiwi for a fair bit too, but both of them have their own issues. I've found that Firefox works well enough for me now and allows me to stick it to the man.
