Sorry until Firefox wakes up and fixes bugs breaking the internet like this one https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195654 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195654 I can sadly never recommend it

Unfortunately Firefox is slower than chromium and the devtools are worse. I used Firefox for years because I hate google. I eventually gave up, that’s how bad ff is.

  I think that Firefox dev tools are better

    Yeah, I'm used to the Firefox ones and whenever I use the chrome ones they seem fine, worse in some ways but better in others (device emulation) while being a little unfamiliar. The webextension dev tools are better too, imo.

    My average friend doesn't care about devtools, only if they can watch YouTube in silence

  FF actually uses hardware acceleration on my machine and chrome won't for some reason, so FF is actually faster for some!

Yeah, I don't get all this fuss. I mean, if you block ads then do you think Chrome will also stop reporting to the mothership? Of course not. Use Firefox and simple be done with all this hoohah.

  > I mean, if you block ads then do you think Chrome will also stop reporting to the mothership? I'm mostly interested in improving my browsing experience. Viewing the web without an adblocker is a nightmare, it makes some websites nigh-unusable. The privacy issue is an issue, but it's not one that actively prevents me from reading things online.

  Blocking malvertisements is a matter of safety, I personally find the privacy aspect secondary to that.

    For me primarily a matter of convenience: I don't want to be inconvenienced by ads. Secondly and thirdly safety and privacy.
