I tried to like Firefox, I really do, I tried to use it as primary browser, but it's just noticeable less snappy and slower than anything Chromium based, so I always return back to Chromium (now Brave).
Not to mention that I always hit some glitches in sites or some things not working in Firefox because developers didn't even bother to test on Firefox or just plainly refuse to support it.
- AdvancedCarrot 4y agoWill say as well that Brave is much, much better out of the box for privacy than Firefox. Even with uBlock Origin and other privacy-friendly extensions, Firefox doesn't offer much in the way of anti-fingerprinting.
- wooque 4y agoI agree, Brave has pretty good privacy protections, anti-fingerprinting and ad-blocking out of the box. No need to install dozen of extensions and custom user.js like in Firefox. Only extension that I need is password manager and I'm good to go. Brave on Android is also best Android browser I used.
- a-dub 4y agothis has been my experience. i even prefer some parts of the firefox ui. but for the reasons you mention, the net result is that then i have to run two browsers which means twice the work, complexity and risk. i hate this. i really want firefox to succeed and i really appreciate their stated goals with respect to privacy, and their significant contributions to the internet commons.
- frankjr 4y agoThat pretty much sums it up. The only thing I regularly miss is Firefox's Awesome bar (Omni bar) - its fuzzing engine works much better and seems to include the entire browsing history.
