But Firefox on Android has an odd bug that I cannot get rid of. Pages are really slow to load on initial render. I've noticed it gets stuck on the SSL cert verification step, sometimes around 5 to 10 seconds before it starts painting the page. I've tried disabling all add-ons, logging out of Firefox sync, disabling the built in HTTPS everywhere, and literally any custom settings I've added. But I can't get past this issue and seemingly no one else has it. Chrome doesn't present this issue. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 years ago Yup got the same thing. Annoying as hell.

It annoys me to no end and weirder still, issue doesn't present itself with Firefox for Windows running behind the same IP. Firefox Focus also doesn't seem to present the issue. Just the primary Firefox browser for Android. And honestly, often enough that it's nearly unusable.

The problem is that almost all modern browsers are Chromium-based which give Google a lot of power to implement changes (see manifest v3 & web DRM). Personally, I'm trying to slowly reduce my usage of Google products. I'm using Firefox on desktop and a mix of DDG+Fennec on my phone. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DONTBANTHISACCOUNT@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago Thank You!

It’s safari, but with support for chrome and Firefox extensions! Fuck yeah! I always loved safari, and always got weird looks for it as a web developer (but after a month or two they love me for it because I always find non-chrome bugs because those peasants only use chrome), but that browser is so damn good guys… on mac, that is. Not sure if it even exists yet for linux/win. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments load more comments (2 replies) load more comments (15 replies)

The problem is that almost all modern browsers are Chromium-based which give Google a lot of power to implement changes (see manifest v3 & web DRM). Personally, I'm trying to slowly reduce my usage of Google products.

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 years ago In a way yes. You're giving Google (via an increased browser market share) the power to decide the direction of the web. Their interests as a corporate organization are not aligned with yours, so they will make decisions to your detriment if they have to. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] voxl@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) On mac? Love safari? But also want good adblock? Use Orion! It’s safari, but with support for chrome and Firefox extensions! Fuck yeah! I always loved safari, and always got weird looks for it as a web developer (but after a month or two they love me for it because I always find non-chrome bugs because those peasants only use chrome), but that browser is so damn good guys… on mac, that is. Not sure if it even exists yet for linux/win. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments load more comments (2 replies)
