Plase, tell me more on how someone like me, that has been using Firefox for almos 20 years and then switched to a Chromium browsers because of all Mozilla’s fuckups is doing something wrong. And yes, I’m technically very well versed. I just don’t want to spend my time fixing Mozilla’s bullshit and I unilaterally decided that they don’t deserve me as a user.
Just use whatever you like. If Firefox is good for you, fine. Enjoy it, until it lasts, as Mozilla seems to be hell-bent on destryoing it.
I can understand the frustrations, Mozilla don’t get everything right.
But personally I much prefer their ecosystem to Chromiums. Chormium is compromised by Google’s control. The google driven Manifest V3 controversy around adblockers, and the FLoC privacy concerns are good examples of this.
Also there are only 3 major broswer engines left: Webkit, Blink and Gecko. Webkit and Blink are ultimately controlled & influenced by big tech corporations driven by commerical priorities including advertising, while Gecko is independent.
I’m not suggesting that is enough in itself. I do honestly personally like Firefox, but it certainly makes me much more forgiving of it when I consider the alternatives.
If you’re in lemmy and not using Firefox, then something is wrong
I get that you expect the general public of Lemmy to be technically versed, but reddit refugees don’t always have your mindset.
Firefox is not really complex actually
No but the user base is more technical on average. Not sure why.
Fair enough
