    Why the hell are you insisting on chromium? It’s such a bad idea to throw all our eggs in one basket.

      I occasionally use Brave when I need to cast something to my shield. Is this possible with firefox?

      Most of the time I use Firefox

      not the OP, but I have had some webpages that didn’t work correctly in firefox. Firefox’s market share is lower than 5% and some web devs have opted out of optimizing for firefox. The crypto stuff is completely opt in, I disabled it, added the typical ublock, decentraleyes, badger and clearurl addons and it’s basically as secure as modded firefox with the same addons or the shitty firefox port called librewolf with the settings that takes 1 min to set up already done by default, and yeah it’s shitty because it takes longer to update than firefox because all they do is to merge from the main branch.

      If they asked chromium, let them, why the hell are you chastising people for their preferences.

      When the Addon version change rolls in things will be different, but it has been delayed due to the user pushback and I don’t think that it will get implemented. If it does, tons of users will migrate to firefox anyway.

        Not if they want to pass QA. I’d not have a ‘dev’ like that near my team.

          Sure that sounds nice, but several “modern” government sites haven’t worked me correctly in Firefox.

      In my case I prefer the chromium design over firefox

      Mainly to make it easier to import my user data (including passwords and such) and extension data.

        Firefox can import from Chrome profile.

          Including passwords? Because it’d be a pain to have to keep Brave around just because it’s where I stored my passwords. And the last time I switched browsers (from Chrome to Brave years ago), there was an issue where all my imported passwords were blank. The solution was to export/ import them using the tool in Chromium’s password settings page, which I assume Firefox doesn’t have.

            I’d recommend just storing passwords separately from your browser. Bitwarden is such an awesome tool and the free version takes care of everything most people would need. You can even self-host it!

        If you are looking for the most absolute comfort-zone, firefox is not ideal, but it can import bookmarks, passwords and history from any browser. to sync, just create a firefox account and log into it on each device.
