Why don't people give Firefox a chance ?
Sure google properties don't work on it but that is because google broke them. A simple useragent often fixes it. The point is, people need to start using it or else accept the monopoly of chrome and not complain when they implement user hostile tech.
I get the whole promoted stuff Mozilla has been doing, I just ignore it and carry on. I have unlock origin and pihole to cover for me. Many people use nextdns or whatever and that works great too.
- muzani 5y agoI just use different browsers for different things. Firefox for most things; it's the fastest. Chrome for anything Google related. Edge for PDFs and my Hotmail account.
- tortasaur 5y agoI used to use Chrome for Google stuff, but recently I found the Multi-Account Containers Firefox extension. Works really well for splitting up a work profile, accounts tied to your real identity, and casual web browsing.
- muzani 5y agoThe problem for me is Google Meet falls apart on Firefox when presenting your screen to a group of over 4 people. Google Docs and Sheets falls apart pretty quickly too.
- Demcox 5y agoThen designate Chrome for such tasks and FireFox with containers for anything else. It works great - can confirm.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoThis is why I made an app to auto switch browsers. There were others but none worked inside browsers wothout extra clicks. Otherwise it can be a pain to switch often.
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agowhy don't you use sumatrapdf?
- muzani 5y agoEdge is really nice for PDFs though and integrates well with printer and web, so what else do I really want?
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoplease give sumatrapdf a try. this is a powerhouse app that is barely talked about. it is like 2-3 Mb in total and does everything pdf. using edge for pdf is like hair clipping with a chainsaw. just my 2 cents
- HaoZeke 5y agoBecause Mozilla has proven time and again to be a false friend to the foss community. Look at thunderbird and xul, not to mention the fact that they basically ended up copying chromium..
- hulitu 5y agoIn a corporate env you don't choose what browser you can use. And FF has other problems (see other comments)
- taubek 5y agoSometimes you have to use what you are provided by the company where you work. IT departments can have strict rules any policies what you can run on your computer or not.
