[–] pepsison52895@lemmy.one 24 points 2 years ago (1 child) Looks like I'm finally switching to Firefox. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 1 point 2 years ago* 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. permalink fedilink source parent
