- FoodWThrow 3y agoI use firefox because it has the most hassle-free hardware decoding in linux. However, everything basically feels better with Brave, even with the same amount of plug-ins.

- 1xdevnet 3y agoCurious whether you've tried with the new (non-PPA) repo directly from Mozilla as of v122 [1]. I think the old PPA was also Mozilla, so I don't know what may have changed aside from being more publicly acknowledged. Might be worth a try? I don't have an Ubuntu VM at-hand but on Debian bookworm it installed fine, and (after tweaking one line in profiles.ini to point to my old ESR profile) it loaded and played Widevine-protected videos without any issues.

- kristianp 3y agoThanks, I'll give that a try.
- soundnote 3y agoOne genuine performance edge Firefox has is that it can handle giant YouTube comments sections better than Chromium browsers in part because it accepts larger maximum page size.
