    I’ve used it very briefly and had no problems.

    Honestly, the differences between browsers performance is almost nothing. I’ve been a long time Firefox user and only ever encountered a compatibility issue once, but that was on a 3rd world countries government webpage for a small neighborhood.

    It was more likely that it was a bug.

      ive switched to firefox for desktop windows for about 1 year now. Firefox is really capable and as swift as chrome. You also get a sense of less intrusiveness. Firefox also has the multi containers widget, though for me it breaks down after a while. The big difference now between firefox and chrome are things like automatic subtitles for anything running in chrome. So if a youtube or other video has no english subs, Chrome can do it. And soon, Chrome i going to go AI too. I’m not sure how firefox will survive that onslaught. I suspect mozilla will have a firefox fork partnering with a major competitor of google (eg: MS).

        I’ll admit that those features are useful, but it’s not enough for me to switch to chrome and give Google more control over the web.

        It’s like giving up the house to play with some toys.

        The only difference I see is that Firefox allows me to scroll faster. What am I supposed to see?

          it seems everyone has had completely different results! I’ve uploaded my experience here: video

          for me if you look closely, ff hitches and lags on scroll while chrome scrolls perfectly smoothly
