Firefox has only recently really been in the same performance ballpark as Chrome, meaning to get this privacy you had to give up performance. These days the delta is small enough that it shouldn't matter.
Notable things still delaying my switch.
1. Linux. The Linux Firefox app is inferior to the Windows version. The same can't be said for Chrome.
2. Android. Firefox Preview should catch things up, and I think will be stable by the summer. Maybe I'll switch then.
- larrik 7y agoInteresting. I've been using Firefox exclusively for a few years, mostly on Linux, and haven't actually noticed it being inferior to the Windows version. What am I missing?
- franga2000 7y agoNot OP, but I'll give my list (I use it despite these issues tho): - associating programs to file extensions is not only out of sync with the system, but also a huge pain to fix manually as basically none of my programs show up in the dropdown - it uses the extraordinarily crappy GTK3 file picker, regardless of environment - hardware acceleration is hit-or-miss - no borderless top bar - drag&drop is janky (not sure if Plasma-specific) - touch scrolling and gestures need about:config tweaks to work None of these are killers for me as I really dislike the way Chromium renders pages (I know how weird that sound) and want to support Gecko even if it's partially inferior, but at least the file picker thing is an absolute disaster (not unique to FF, but they're no doubt the biggest in terms of time spent using it).
