A lot of people have already said it in this thread, but I am going to repeat, this is why Firefox is better!
Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it’s the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it’s actively fighting Google’s monopoly on web browsing.
Firefox is based. Glad I switched over recently.
Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, and is absolutely better for privacy and security; way more based than Firefox, you should check it out m8 :)
Using LibreWolf right now! The experience is smooth most of the time, although you do need to switch to Firefox when you need to view DRM-controlled content (like when participating an online course, for example).
Yeah DRM content is why I’m on Firefox instead of Librewolf. I may look into hardening FF in the near future
User experience is actually better if you’re not using chrome since you won’t be subject to Google’s a/b tests

duckduckgo browser is also not chromium
Sorry to disappoint you but it does. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo if you check out the Browser section, it literally says DDG browser is using Blink, which is the Chromium engine.
duckduckgo browser is just a webview2 wrapper, which is a edge wrapper, which is just a chromium wrapper, which is…
I know it’s easy to claim that, but is there any actual proof of that?
You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.
Unless you use a browser that uses its own ad and tracker blocking. I get fewer ads on Vivaldi without adblocking then I get on Firefox with ublock origin.
Runs about half the resources that Firefox takes up too.
Ad block on chromium was supposed to break in January when manifest v3 came around and it doesn’t seem like much has changed on browsers that were prepared for it like Brave and V.
Edge and Chrome are fucked, but who cares about them anyways.
I used vivaldi for a period, but it’s still Chromium. I’m trying to support the only non-chromium option out there. The more users Firefox has, the better. Chrome and Chromium are so dominant, it’s seriously problematic.
Unless you were running Firefx with outdated uBO filters, I doubt that. Vivaldi is a memory hog for me.
Strange, it’s literally half of Firefox with equivalent tabs.
Will this affect vanced?
Is this real? Lmao
That’s a low-level Microsoft style move. Didn’t thought Google will do it
‘No I dont think I will’
Use Firefox btw
+1 for Firefox, it’s a great experience on both desktop and mobile!
It’s a terrible mobile browser…
I honestly gave it a go, and I liked that I could run ad blocking, but the constant crashing and poor website rendering shoved me back to chrome on mobile a couple weeks ago. I’d rather deal with ads and have the browser be stable apparently.
What’s not working? Most broken websites are fixed by having it flag itself as chrome mobile, which is telling that your falling for what Google wants right now. And what crashes are you getting? I get one no more than once a week if that and I have over 100 tabs open
Wait, you guys get crashes on Firefox Mobile? Like legit, I was using Firefox for months, in fact, nearly a year, with over 100 tabs opened constantly (it showed up as an Infinity sign, lol) and I don’t remember ever having Firefox crash on me. That’s unusual.
I use it on mobile just for uBlock. As far as I know it’s the only mobile browser that supports extensions. If you use their nightly version it can use any extension that you can get on desktop. The base version only supports a few extension, but uBlock is one of them.
Wish Firefox goes with Vivaldi direction. I can’t try another browser since I 'm so addicted to gestures. Plus a lot more customization is available.
What a cunning plan!
Such a baseless statement. Ad blockers actually improve performance by removing random junk videos, and images from running on the site.
I’m so glad to have switched to Firefox.
Here’s another reply for “this is why you Firefox.”
@Tibert What does this have to do with Google? Isn’t this Facebook?
I actually deleted my google account yesterday. Felt so good. I’m finally free.
What do you use for email?
Not the OP, but I have been using ProtonMail as my personal mail for a long time and it works really well for me.
Why even use Google Chrome 👁👄👁
My work mandates it unfortunately.
They mandate the browser you use? Seems a little overbearing.
Our website works best with Chrome so they want us to use Chrome. Blame the people we outsource to in India, I guess.
Use Vivaldi then. It’s Chromium based, but they care about privacy and there’s tons of ways to configure it
You have no idea.
I stand with Firefox.
It’s crazy how low the firefox market share is. It’s like 3% worldwide.
For such a good browser too!
On desktop the market share is somewhat higher.
I switched back to Firefox ever since the Quantum release and have been loving it.
I wish Mozilla would spend their resources on the browser instead of wasting time and money on so many other useless projects.
Unpopular opinion (maybe) - But i’m using Edge, works with chrome extensions, I use BingAI for quick searches and the cleanest looking vertical tabs I’ve used without elbow grease and extensions
No, you can be quite certain that’s an unpopular opinion. And it should be.
Is that specifically a browser issue, as opposed to a webscript issue for detection?
Is it still an issue in Librewolf, Brave, and Ungoogled Chromium?
It is a self inflicted wound basically. Google killed support for how those ad blockers work.

Firefox based browsers literally will not have this problem at all.
