    I like how the “don’t dead, open inside” at the end just works.

    I actually recently switched from brave to Firefox

    It’s going pretty nice so far Plus I love the customization open source stuff always has

      I thought brave ended up having privacy issues? Is this no longer the case? I just recently switched to ff after being a chrome user for so long (went from FF to chrome long ago)

            People believe what they want.

            But, you are correct.

            Not necessarily because FF is bad, but because the internet and web standards are often stupid and not privacy friendly.

            Webrtc? Great! (But, by default, it leaks your real IP address even with a VPN). WebGL, web GPU, etc. Sketchy not privacy friendly standards

            But, again. At least FF allows obfuscation either by fingerprint blocking or masking or other config settings. But… it is tedious. And they change flags and flag names constantly.

            FF at least allows you to mod it so you can use it without leaks.

            What irks me is all the telemetry. And this new deal they call fog.

            And the impossible to get rid of add-ons I never asked for. No, I don’t want screenshots built in. Nor amazon, or google, or eBay, or Normandy or opt out studies

            After all the tweaks I make manually (arkenfox user.js is nice, too) it ends up well over a hundred settings to get what I want functionality and privacy wise.

            And, yet, it is still the absolute best of the browsers.

            (Tor, mull, and librefox as well)

    I always install Firefox on all the work computer kiosks.

    I’m doing my part one page visit at a time.

    Its so much better, especially if you aren’t already lost in Google’s sauce.

    My friends have gotten so used to me talking about Firefox that whenever they complain about Chrome they immediately say “Don’t” when I start typing

    Fight me but I like how Chrome looks and feels. I also have zero issues with its functionality. Many people here are trying to paint it as if it’s a bad browser but the billions using it tell a different story. The issue with chrome isn’t chrome itself but the company behind it.

    Will I switch if they start blocking AdBlock? Yes, but only because of this.

    A while back firefox removed some of the features that let me manually handle the cookies I allow and block. It’s not great but I’ll be using Opera for a while.
