• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla’s focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google’s ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

    Just because Google broke the most trafficked site on the internet for Firefox doesn’t mean its a bad browser. Hell that’s a ringing endorsement.

      Personally I’d rather stop using any Google services, than handing them a Chrome monopoly. Google is already way to dominant IMO.

          I absolutely try to limit it. I use Qwant for search. I don’t use gmail except to register Android. In android I don’t use google services like calendar. I only use Google play for 1 app that is only available through Google play.
          My biggest dependency is probably YouTube, which I must admit I use a lot.

      I didn’t notice they broke it. The website works on my Firefox as usual. Maybe you lack some plugins? (like ublock origin, sponsor block, age restriction bypass…)

      I still don’t see that they broke FF specifically, they’re fighting back against adblockers, including the ones in browsers like brave.

        They added a literal sleep(5000) to the javascript for youtube accessed via firefox.

          1. Hasn’t been happening on my Firefox
          2. There have been reports on other browsers as well, so this isn’t a firefox specific issue (p sure I’ve seen some people that use chrome claim they had this issue)

          From what I’ve gathered from other threads, it’s meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users. It appears though that Firefox users ended up in the crossfire, while uBO can be rigged to block the sleep() function in that case, nullifying the wait.

      which site is that? Google search page? it works fine for me in every browser I’ve ever tried it on.
