Im really confused by this sentiment. Ive been using Firefox since like 2007 and I was just a teenager who didn't know any better.

Its been working fine for 16 years now.

Personally, I stopped using Firefox when mobile became my main computing device. When I had shitty phones and mobile browsers were newer, Chrome was much more stable for me than FF. I should try to break the habit and go back to FF now that they are both structurally sound, but by now I have years of stuff saved to and remembered by Chrome. It would be a hassle to switch, and somewhat more control of a portion of my data isn't worth the trouble to me. I'm still gonna use Instagram for professional networking and personal posting, so I'm gonna be in packaged data anyway.

All that stuff you have saved isn't important. You won't even miss what you saved.

That's like not moving into a better home because you don't want to lose what's in your junk drawer in the kitchen.

Edit. Three downvotes with no replies? No one cares to explain thier point of view?

I perpetually want to document and keep things but learning that browsing history, tabs, bookmarks, and cookies are disposable trash that I know I truly don't give a fuck about was enlightening. A clean slate is actually great!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Man, what you said is so true. A few years ago, when I switched from Chrome to Brave (I now use Firefox), one of my worries was losing all the "important" stuff I had saved over the years. As you said, those things weren't important at all, I don't even remember what they were.

For those of you who are like that: change now, you won't regret it and if you really need to save something, just copy/paste those links into a word or any other program.

I didn't downvote but I'm thinking of some extension configurations as things I don't think have export/import support

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah having all your stuff saved in chrome would make it a hassle. sounds like a rainy day project haha

Even better idea. Wait until about 6pm, open maybe 7 beers and drink them over a four hour time frame. At 10pm, start mixing some cocktails (you can do this beforehand and just store them in the fridge), make sure you have plenty, as over the next 2 hours, you'll need them.

Finally, at 12am, get yourself a nice spirit you enjoy, so maybe a good whisky, a good tequila, a good rum. Anything you like, and start mixing, 50ml alcohol, to about 250ml mixer is what I personally enjoy.

Once you hit 12, just get your things done. Whether it's moving data over. Or just anything that needs to be done. Unless it involves leaving your house. As that may get messy.

This is what I always do when I know I need to get something done. And it hasn't let me down yet.

Oh, and don't forget your favourite music.
