I was a die hard Chrome user until about 4 years ago, switched to Firefox since then and I rarely feel the need to open Chrome, which I keep around just for the occasional testing of websites.
I never had problems with YouTube. That said Gmail or the GSuite Admin are a little slower in Firefox.
But you know what?
They are slow enough in Chrome too. Latest Gmail is a piece of shit.
So the solution to that was to switch to a desktop client (Mailmate, which can handle Gmail just fine) and for my personal email I switched to FastMail. And I'm very happy about it.
Get out of the Google bubble. The air is clean on this side of the fence ;-)
- _justpassingby_ 8y agoLatest Gmail is, indeed, a piece of shit. I think it's for the same reason a lot of websites now are (including my university's course portal): everyone is using frameworks that purport to work just as good on mobile as desktop but in reality end up compromising both platforms down to a mediocre workable level. That's not a Google issue, and I honestly don't know if a resurgence of desktop apps in general would be a good thing or not.
- meddlepal 8y agoIts somewhat difficult to get out of the Google bubble when your company uses GSuite and GCloud and you're the ops guy :P
- cmroanirgo 8y agoThere's nothing forcing you to adopt their whole ecosystem, even if your core functionality is using G. Move away from their client based products though: Chrome-> FireFox, Gmail app->any other, Maps->Bing/OpenStreetMap. (Personally I still use maps, because the others aren't quite quite up to par in my region).
