I really like Firefox. I’ve been using it for years as I find its workflow meshes better with mine than Chrome. However, it’s been a huge pain on Linux for me on my desktop with an NVIDIA graphics card. It was locking up my CPU and causing total system crashes periodically while I was listening to YouTube videos in the background. I finally narrowed the problem down to having hardware acceleration enabled, but it was a frustrating period when those crashes were happening. I’m sure running Firefox on Linux with an NVIDIA graphics card and hardware acceleration enabled is a niche, but it really felt like that shouldn’t ever be happening. Fortunately it just works on my laptop running Fedora. The only thing that kept me on Firefox during that period was that Chrome was blurry out of the box, and I needed to focus on development rather than tinkering. Addressing the loss of users, I’ve never met anyone in the real world that uses Firefox in my circles. It’s entirely Chrome and Safari on iPhones / iPads. I’m curious who besides myself actually uses Firefox. I have recommended it to others, but they always revert back to Chrome. The most I’ve seen with someone who was privacy concerned was switching to Brave. I hope Firefox is able to continue its development long into the future because it’s good to have diversity from Google’s control of the internet in my opinion. It’s unfortunate that Mozilla has to rely on Google’s money to fuel that development however.
