Back when I first moved off of Firefox the answer was performance. A lot of users mass-migrated to Chrome because it supported a very similar set of extensions and was significantly more stable and performant. People like me evangelized switching to Chrome for everyone. Many copies of Chrome were installed by me.
Now the performance still hasn’t caught up to Chrome but it has improved, and uBlock Origin Lite does a decent job at a baseline level of blocking for most people.
- Synaesthesia 2mo agoThe performance and stability with lots of tabs is actually outstanding.
- alt227 2mo agoI have used Firefox solely for over a decade. Recently I switched to Chrome to see what I was missing. I was horrified at Chromes memory bloat and the fact it puts tabs to sleep. Trying to click through old tabs was an absolute nightmare as it tried to quickly load back each tabs state and memory, and cpu spikes massively causing whole machine slowdowns, blank white pages, and app freezes. People say that Firefox doesnt display some pages properly, but I am yet to see one and nobody has ever managed to show me a page that works in Chrome but breaks in Firefox. Chrome is a glitchy mess compared to Firefox, and Firefox still has Manifest v2 and fully working uBlock. Its a no brainer for me, back to the orange fox I go.
