    I’m not loyal to a browser, I’m loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I’d switch overnight

      Which is exactly the way it should be. And it’s a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.

        Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides

            Libretube is also a fine option. Available on F-droid

              Libretube is definitely the better option if you don’t use a VPN but still want to hide your IP from Google, since it uses Piped to proxy everything

      From me it would need more. Chrome has more (mostly privacy related) disadvantages compared to Firefox than that

      You don’t care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google’s new invasive advertising system?

      I’m currently using Samsung Internet with content blockers. Firefox on my Android phone has micro stutters that are driving me crazy. The only browser that doesn’t have that weird Android scrolling micro stutters are Samsung Internet, weirdly. So I’ve been using it for years even on non Samsung phones.

    I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.

    So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.

      Infuriating, isn’t it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose

    You do realise ublock origin exists for Chrome as well right?

        Not to mention the fact that FF is the only mobile browser to support add-ons

            Zero mentions of Chrome in that article

              You’re right. Well I’m using firefox and haven’t received these warnings so I assumed it was a chrome thing. I could be wrong though.

    Does it load google websites (youtube, gmail, drive, etc.) unnoticeably slower than brave? (More than 1s is noticeable for me) That’s the only thing keeping me to switch from brave to firefox

    *Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? It’s just a question. Realistically, many depend on google services but still want privacy. Can’t we ask for it??
