    The trick is, I never switched to chrome.

    I went from IE to firefox back in 2009 or so and never had a reason to switch. Firefox is a nice browser.

        Because ad blocker works. I basically only use chrome for Gmail now and work stuff. Eventually I’ll use it for everything

    I got so tired of the “update chrome because new zero day” articles so I removed chrome altogether from every computer I own except the work one because one specific vendor’s schematics work in chrome and are broken in the other browsers. I haven’t looked back and I don’t think I will.

    I’ve never enjoyed Firefox, don’t know why but it’s just never felt better for me. Whether it be looks or something else, dunno

    Switch to Firefox? By Mozilla? The company that just said they are ramping up ads and AI garbage?

    Good luck.

      Firefox is FOSS. Just use a privacy oriented fork of it :)

          I would search “Firefox forks for privacy” or something like that

              That’s fine. My goal is not to evangelize people and force everyone to use he same thing. A lot of people will stick to chrome, and other people will use Firefox, and even smaller subset will use privacy oriented forks of Firefox. Get this mf some diversity.

                the benefits of it only come around if a bunch of people are doing it.

                whats bad about this is google’s monopoly and influence over the market, not individual people’s preferences.

      Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.

        I agree. I’m using it right now!

        But they have certainly been outlining some poor decisions in the last few weeks.
