    I’ve been using Firefox for like 15-17 years now, I honestly can’t even remember when I started, but its never let me down.

    I’m no power user with it or anything, but its always done exactly what I needed it to.

      Yup, and aside from Firefox for Android, I don’t remember the last time I needed to “refresh” Firefox, and even on Android, I only need to do it like once/year.

      It’s really a non-issue.

      Yeah I don’t get what they mean by needing a refresher every few days or whatever. I’ve used it all my life and only crappy websites had me needing to switch to another browser.

        I completely forgot about having to use a different browser for bad websites. It’s been a few years now, but I think something to do with the SHiFT code rewards between Borderlands 2 & 3 was the last time I had to use a different browser.

    To be fair, back in the day Firefox was literally not as good as Chrome. Then enshittification and Google deciding being “evil” was fine…

    Dude is smoking crack. I’ve been using firefox for, shit, I don’t even know how long, but it’s gotta be creeping on at least fifteen years. Feels like forever any way.

    Never had any kind of problem like he’s yakking about. Not once.

      I’ve been using it regularly since (I think) one of the 0.9 Betas that came on the CD bundled with a magazine I got from my local library.

      Literally never had to deal with issues OP is dealing with

      I’ve been using Firefox since it was Mozilla Navigator and I can’t say I’ve ever had “Piece of shit always broken” with it unless you count websites these days building with Chrome in mind, in which case I don’t blame Mozilla.

        That’s my experience as well. Maybe it has more trouble on Windows though. I haven’t had much experience with it there.

      Brave, for crypto enthusiasts who like to talk about privacy and security but don’t actually have those things or know what they are.

      Does it still have advertisements?

    arc windows might not have all the features arc mac os has but it’s still a solid browser. love the split view and how i can hid the tabs on side.

    B-but I like my Chinese botnet! It’s the smoothest browser around with tons of nifty features for browsing built-in and was the first to introduce tabs back then.

        I still don’t know what that’s about. I guess it’s for the ADHD crowd who need to browse while gaming or something?

        I followed the devs to Vivaldi and I’ve been very happy.

          Which is also just reskinned chromium like almost any other browser. Which is why I use Safari on Apple devices and Firefox anywhere else.

        Used to hype up Whatsapp long long ago, now it’s shit. Used to hype up Opera long long ago, now it’s shit.

        I’m gonna do everyone a favor and never be excited about anything ever again. I will single-handedly manifest the end of enshittification.

    Soo, chromium again… just with a few plugins and crypto shit. Or has brave stopped using those?

    Brave is basically all of the above. I genuinely don’t get how anyone is braindead enough to fall for their “privacy” advertising.

      The intro-to-programming instructor at the school I work at loves it. But he also has a GME To The Moon sticker on his PC. Seems to be a beloved instructor

      IDK, their ad blocker seems to work, so that puts it away ahead of the rest of the Chromium browsers.

      But uBlock Origin on Firefox is even better, so I only use Brave to test apps in Chromium.
