    PRESENTED BY GOOGLE CHROME

    😅

    Edit; I’m happy with Firefox, and have been using it exclusively for about 6 years now.

    Fuck Google. Do no harm, unless it generates profit.

    Sad to see such article written as if it was all firefox’s fault, instead of google and apple’s anticompetitive (and probably illegal) strategies playing a great role.

    bit of a hit piece, citing lots of old data. my n=1 study indicates a 100% satisfaction rate with firefox and I have personally turned on at least 30 former chrome users to Firefox within the last 2 months. so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Firefox is the shit, I am extremely happy with it. Even just for stupid monkey brain pretty the themes are better. Its all just better. I feel terrible for ever using chrome.

    Well that was a well paid hit piece. For the record, I am happy with Firefox and its functions, I’ve been using it since the start.

    I am rather worried about Mozilla’s new laser focus on AI and the Corp CEO compensation bonuses are just bullshit.

    I’m hoping we won’t be forced into a completely Google dominated web because I thinking at that point it’s time to abandon it and burn everything to the ground

    Firefox could murder my sister and as long as they supported mobile ad blocking I’d still say they’re the best browser.

    Firefox lovers will never admit it. I just use it because it’s the only real, opensource alternative, but I sure am not happy with it nor Mozilla.

      Yeah, totally the same. I’m only using it because that’s the only option, I’ll never use a chromium based browser, because that engine directly contradicts my my values. But the CEOs pay very much bothers me too, she does not deserve it at all, that money should be spent on useful work on the browser.
      I have been thinking it for long that it’s not a good browser, but the one that is the minimally bad. Of course I don’t tell this to people when I try to get them to switch, because for them it does not send the message I actually wanted.

    I switched to Brave. Brave has so shit UI it hurts, I sometimes launch Firefox maybe if ‘at least’ it works now? Yeah… Sometimes it works. I still keep Firefox for some grand shenanigans scheme, but hell no whatever it is it is not happening. I see no other browsers at horizon either, only these 2 are good to use.

    The article is good.

      Switched to brave after about a decade of Firefox, switched back to firefox after a couple of years because chromium based browsers still smell of corporation. Been getting curious about Librewolf.
