    Does it run better than it did fifteen years ago? Because that was the reason I switched to Chrome.

      of course not, it hasn’t been updated for FIFTEEN YEARS and definitely didn’t even get an engine upgrade in 2017 let alone a new version half a month ago and a hotfix last week

        Damn I’ve heard Android is really shitty and full of malware that haven’t been updated since 20 years ago. I don’t know why idiots still buy their shitty androids, iPhone is clearly the superior platform!

      I switched from Chrome to Firefox somewhat recently. The experience really isn’t any different, except Firefox doesn’t use 110% of your CPU.

      I have a ton of privacy extensions which causes a few issues when creating accounts by linking to your Google account (the pop-up is blocked) or opening redirect links to apps (I think it’s only Discord that I’ve had an issue with). I don’t consider those drawbacks because the browser is doing its job. Instead, I go copy and paste the link in Chrome.

      Yes. In fact, I’d say that Firefox runs clearly better than Chrome does these days. An inversion of the past.

      2 years ago YouTube stuttered like a motherfucker whenever I moved my mouse. Doesn’t do that anymore so yes.

            No effect, bevause youtube uses an outdated version of Shadow DOM, which only chromium based browsers have installed. It then makes browsers like Firefox and pre chromium edge start youtube terribly.

      Okay, okay, I get the point! I’m a total Rip Van Winkle when it comes to Firefox. I just stopped using it at one point and never looked back. However good it is now, it was just as not good in the 2000s.
