[–] Serinus@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) I switched this week. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] GoodKingElliot@feddit.uk 4 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children) I'm switching today. Right now. Because of this post. ^^maybe EDIT: okay. I think I've done it. I'm currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That's sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar. Thanks everyone for the encouragement! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] wallmenis@lemmy.one 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) It'll cost you nothing at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] A1kmm@lemmy.amxl.com 1 point 3 years ago And in fact will save you CPU cycles. For a bit, Chrome had a slight performance edge over Firefox. But once Google got the market share, Firefox caught up and got ahead, and Chrome didn't invest in keeping up, so Firefox is generally faster. The only exception is a few sites (especially Google ones) seem to be heavily optimised for Chrome, but not necessarily as much for Firefox. If you stay away from those sites, Firefox is generally faster. Plus Chromium is increasingly becoming more hostile to efficient ad blocking add-on implementations - so if you want to block ads (generally recommended due to ad networks doubling as paid malware distribution networks), Firefox or other Gecko-based browsers are generally the best bet. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 point 3 years ago Please switch permalink fedilink source parent
