      Been using FF for about 2 decades now and I have never seen a single good reason to switch.

      Yep, just like slack, spotify, and anything else looking fancy while wasting few gigs of ram to just open. They’re built on electron, which is practically chrome without tabs.

        I wish they could bring back mozilla prism. Like all this electron web app shit is popular, so we don’t we use the faster and more efficient browser engine and use gecko!

      Pre-Chromium Edge wasn’t even that bad. Sure, the engine had its issues and there was probably a bit of Edge-specific JS on some websites, but I’m sure they would’ve eventually got there.

      But seeing that even Microsoft abandoned making their own browser engine, it goes to show how complex it is to make one nowadays and with new web APIs/features coming out every few weeks it feels like, it’s almost impossible to keep up.

    Firefox died long ago.

    It was an engine fight, and Mozilla decided not to participate.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t get the hate on chromium? I mean it’s fast, it works and nobody forces you to use Google’s proprietary chrome. You can use anything you want
