    Does it run better than it did fifteen years ago? Because that was the reason I switched to Chrome.

      of course not, it hasn’t been updated for FIFTEEN YEARS and definitely didn’t even get an engine upgrade in 2017 let alone a new version half a month ago and a hotfix last week

        Damn I’ve heard Android is really shitty and full of malware that haven’t been updated since 20 years ago. I don’t know why idiots still buy their shitty androids, iPhone is clearly the superior platform!

      I switched from Chrome to Firefox somewhat recently. The experience really isn’t any different, except Firefox doesn’t use 110% of your CPU.

      I have a ton of privacy extensions which causes a few issues when creating accounts by linking to your Google account (the pop-up is blocked) or opening redirect links to apps (I think it’s only Discord that I’ve had an issue with). I don’t consider those drawbacks because the browser is doing its job. Instead, I go copy and paste the link in Chrome.

      Yes. In fact, I’d say that Firefox runs clearly better than Chrome does these days. An inversion of the past.

      2 years ago YouTube stuttered like a motherfucker whenever I moved my mouse. Doesn’t do that anymore so yes.

      Okay, okay, I get the point! I’m a total Rip Van Winkle when it comes to Firefox. I just stopped using it at one point and never looked back. However good it is now, it was just as not good in the 2000s.
