Firefox works great.
Nah
There are two browsers, chrome and FF.
Three if you count Webkit/Safari
I don’t think I can install it on my android phone, so I don’t count it
Though the engine is still being actively worked on to provide android support https://blogs.igalia.com/jani/bringing-webkit-back-to-android/
IIRC the Steam browser also uses WebKit tho
Me doing my online banking using the Steam browser in Big Picture mode
Not since 2014, where they switched to blink (chromium)
Who said you can only have Android phones?
Pfft. I’m going back to the og Netscape Navigator 😎
Isn’t that just what Firefox was before it was Firefox?
Me too, but I’m just waiting for this jpeg to finish loading
picks up the phone
DE-DURRRR-DE-DEDA-EEEEEEEEKK
It feels very weird to say but
I think maybe
the world was better when Trident existed??
SILENCE THIS HERETIC!

Why I dislike web apps. They make the devs lazy enough to not bother making a native app
I switched to Firefox because of Googlea plans to stop adblockers.
I still prefer FF or Vivaldi over Google Chrome. Yes Vivaldi is Open Source Chromium, but at least it doesn’t have the Chrome crap in it.
Vivaldi contains Chromium, but it isn’t itself open-source, by the way.
They say of themselves that “for all practical purposes the Vivaldi source code is available for audit”. I would not fully agree with that either, but I guess, at that point the open-source purists have already lost interest anyways.

It’s still the same rendering engine. There are two browsers.
3 if you count Safari
That’s like saying there’s only 5 games because they use the same game engine
I didn’t know that each browser accesses different content on a different internet. I’ll have to check that out. /s
I tried Vivaldi, it’s a good browser but I prefer Brave because it has build it Tor. In my country most torrent sites are blocked so a built-in Tor is useful to me, it can open those sites without VPN.
Brave is also a shifty shady browser that has problems with inserting affiliate links without telling you and selling off user data. They’re really not better or remotely trustworthy TBH, you might as well use the actual TOR browser built on Firefox if you need that capability.
Yeah, I don’t understand how Brave became acceptable all of the sudden.
Did they do some big marketing campaign in the US or something?
They definitely did some marketing, because it came out of nowhere. When I first installed it, it was all over the internet, from YouTube to webpages. A similar thing you can notice with the Arc Browser. I couldn’t find any exceptional features on the Arc Browser but the hype is encouraging people to try it.
Yup, work in a call center and it was a huge ramp up all of a sudden with elderly clients on brave and asking why our site stopped working…
Firefox and Forks, or perish.
“guys ios is bad try android”
looks inside android: its literally bad
“guys try this fork of android”
looks inside: it’s better, i guess.
technology fucking sucks, remember when you could just buy software and that shit worked? Yeah me neither i use linux shits free over here.
If you’re not a fan of Firefox right now, with the few odd decisions they’ve been making, try Floorp or Zen. They’re quite good forks of Firefox and don’t seem to have any of the recent Firefox oddness in them.
I shall not stoop so low as to using a browser named ““floorp””.
Chrome is a stupid name too. Edge is a stupid name.
Both of these are existing words, though
Someone mentioned Zen on the endeavor forums the other day. I’ve switched to Zen Optimized as my daily driver and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I like it. I’m not a keyboard shortcuts kinda guy but you do need to learn the tab manipulation shortcuts or it’ll drain your sanity right clicking on the icons to close tabs.
why floorp??
Not even an option.
What, because of the stupid name?
the devs are fucked
Firefox/Librefix, Vivaldi, Floorp

Basicallly, yeah. It’s unfortunate, but there are really only 2 engines left – Blink and Gecko – (WebKit exists, but it’s almost exclusively used on Apple hardware. The days are gone when everyone had an engine and you could bounce around easily. I’m personally on Firefox main, but I keep Floorp around for backup.
Haha good meme op
Well… I know it’s chromium, but I have to admit Vivaldi is easily my favorite browser. It’s got a bunch of fairly unique features that I just can’t live without. It’s got tabs within tabs, tab tiling, a whole side car for websites that you can display while working on whatever Web page you need (works great for social media, music, messaging). I don’t have a link, but maybe worth checking it out.
tabs within tabs
I use the Firefox “Tab Groups” Extension to get a similar result and I have to agree, it is so nice to keep order
I prefer the Firefox “Tab Groups” Feature actually because I feel it’s more comfortable / has a more clear separation AND:
It automatically freezes tabs and integrates with containers (kind of like browser profiles on Chromium but in the same Window)
Fair enough. I’m relatively sure that Vivaldi does the same freezing, however I haven’t seen documentation around it and I’m too lazy to look it up. I can say that tabs that haven’t been used in a while reload entirely when you switch to them.
But I do like Firefox’s privacy. Limiting cookies to only cookies from that website is a nice touch.
is there a way to force dark mode like in chromium? #enable-force-dark has been a life saver for me. I have a TBI and white screens are physically painful. I keep trying to go back to FireFox, but none of the darkmode addons seem to have this kind of always on, no exceptions kind of feature
So, you haven’t used the “Dark Reader” extension on Firefox. It has “automatic”, “scheduled”, “system default” options. Also you can disable or enable dark mode for specific websites.
deleted by creator
I don’t need the ability to disable I need it to be always on no matter what. This is exactly the extention I was complaining about. This one doesnt work on extentions.firefox.org
There are no addons at all that can change the look of the firefox extension page; it is protected by the browser.
That is why I can’t use firefox it is not accessible. My disability is not taken seriously by the Mozilla Foundation.
Try This one: https://github.com/ThomazPom/Moz-Ext-UltimaDark
same problem
It work for me on every website.
i have the same issue you have, bright screens are the worst (i hated visiting wikipedia). try this addon in firefox. instead of messing with the colors and the contrast of the page, it rather puts an dark overlay over the entire page, reducing the brightness and preserving the look.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-mode-screen/
well see now I am in a pickle. Do I go to the webpage that does not allow itself to be accessible and lose a day of my life to drugs and bed. or just keep using what I am using.
Is that how you set up chrome?
I want to get more points in speedometer 3 using firefox. I’ve seen results above 20-24, but I can’t get more than 12 because js takes a long time to process. What to do? Rebuild firefox with the -0fast flag??
Any suggestions are welcome
But what about mobile? I started using FF and I have to admit that Chrome is a better mobile experience. Brave isn’t for me either.
Edit: lol I’m sorry my experience doesn’t match yours and I chose to ask a question.
Welcome to Lemmy where having an opinion even slightly different from the open source/Linux fanboys grants you downvotes to oblivion, no questions asked 🙃
Thanks for putting yourself on the pyre to prove a point. Hivemind is worse here than Reddit imo, because at least Reddit has a diverse user base…
