While I never left Firefox behind, I absolutely can relate to the "its fast", because I remember when it was true.
15 years ago, the laptops never fast enough and I watched most of my friends started to abandon Firefox for Chrome after trying it out.

Why do you expect malware blocking to become less effective... ? Adblock is not antivirus.
- ndriscoll 2y agoChrome may have been faster, but I don't really remember Firefox ever being particularly slow. Adware, spyware, and crypto miners are all types of malware, and ublock origin can block all of them. Antivirus is probably the least useful type of anti-malware program as viruses aren't particularly common unless you're on the shady parts of the web.
