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've been using it regularly since (I think) one of the 0.9 Betas that came on the CD bundled with a magazine I got from my local library.
Literally never had to deal with issues OP is dealing with
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.
Brave is literally chromium you half baked onion
Why am I not surprised they're a Brave fan.
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.
Yeah I don't get what they mean by needing a refresher every few days or whatever. I've used it all my life and only crappy websites had me needing to switch to another browser.
Yup, and aside from Firefox for Android, I don't remember the last time I needed to "refresh" Firefox, and even on Android, I only need to do it like once/year.
It's really a non-issue.
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.
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.
Been using Firefox for what I think is 2 years now, haven't had any major problems as far as I recall.
Yah I don't know what anon is doing to his PC when no one is looking but it can't be good. Firefox for at least 13 years here and never had an issue I didn't cause myself.
Brave is basically all of the above. I genuinely don't get how anyone is braindead enough to fall for their "privacy" advertising.
The intro-to-programming instructor at the school I work at loves it. But he also has a GME To The Moon sticker on his PC. Seems to be a beloved instructor
IDK, their ad blocker seems to work, so that puts it away ahead of the rest of the Chromium browsers.
But uBlock Origin on Firefox is even better, so I only use Brave to test apps in Chromium.
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
Brave and apple are big astroturfers on 4chan. Always running ad campaigns in the form of 'organic comments'.
Soo, chromium again… just with a few plugins and crypto shit. Or has brave stopped using those?
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
You've obviously never met a web developer
As a web developer, I'm ok with all browsers except Safari
Since when is WebKit exclusive to MacOS?
I love that I can basically test for Safari on Linux using GNOME Web.
I love Firefox, but it's a bit if an iron skillet, and I really wish they'd drop GTK like the hot pile of shit it is.
To be fair, back in the day Firefox was literally not as good as Chrome. Then enshittification and Google deciding being "evil" was fine...
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.
The world's most advanced GAMING BROWSER!!
Firefox on mobile does have one small problem, and that is the fact that whenever I enter full screen mode, the app just exits on its own. No worries, I can just reopen it.
On desktop, Firefox has never let me down.
