Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you. You’re probably right, but I’d like to make a few points here and ask for your help in taking the web back before it’s too late. And if you don’t use Firefox, you’ve been using some version of Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave or Vivaldi) a few years ago this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but today it’s bad for the health and freedom of an web that respect privacy and is not controlled by capitalist corporations, the so-called Big Techs.
I used to use Firefox until several years ago when it became super slow and full of memory leaks that caused me to close it and restart all the time.
Chrome is so much faster.
Is Firefox a viable alternative now? I used to love it but it became unusable.
Firefox had a significant rework awhile ago to improve its performance, so I suspect it may run better for you these days if the last time you used it was several years ago. It’s the browser I’m currently using & it runs smoothly for me even with a silly amount of tabs open.
Why not try it and see?
It would take literal minutes. Who got that time?
