      My only issue with Firefox is some extensions get a little fussy in-between updates, but it seems to be a Linux issue more than a Firefox one.

      And my problem is most definitely a skill issue.

      Yeah, Firefox works fine for me, problem is a good number of websites on the modern web just actually do not work correctly on Firefox because theyre designed by lazy morons.

      Sometimes this can be fixed by just spoofing it and presenting as chrome, other times not.

      In Opera’s defense, I have considered installing it for its game recommendation thingy alone and not actually using it as a browser, simply because modern online game stores basically recommend either massively marketed stuff or seemingly completely random 5 dollar trash, or stupid meme game that is extremely popular right now that is basically also trash and is forgotten about when Twitch moves on to the next thing.

      In the past I remember Opera’s game thingy actually being decent. Any current users that can attest to this?

      I was running into a blue screen ONLY when using Firefox.

      A month later, I decided to make sure one of my memory sticks was fully seated. Issue resolved.

    Only time I’ve had an issue with Firefox requiring >5 minutes of diagnosis was when a shared library was deleted during a freeware uninstall. What an odd piece of criticism.

    Also, brave’s president is right wing, and I dislike that. Like “pls no step on snek” right wing.

    Brave and apple are big astroturfers on 4chan. Always running ad campaigns in the form of ‘organic comments’.

    Dude is smoking crack. I’ve been using firefox for, shit, I don’t even know how long, but it’s gotta be creeping on at least fifteen years. Feels like forever any way.

    Never had any kind of problem like he’s yakking about. Not once.

      I’ve been using Firefox since it was Mozilla Navigator and I can’t say I’ve ever had “Piece of shit always broken” with it unless you count websites these days building with Chrome in mind, in which case I don’t blame Mozilla.

      Brave, for crypto enthusiasts who like to talk about privacy and security but don’t actually have those things or know what they are.

      Does it still have advertisements?

    I’ve been using Firefox for like 15-17 years now, I honestly can’t even remember when I started, but its never let me down.

    I’m no power user with it or anything, but its always done exactly what I needed it to.

    Firefox actually doesn’t break. And it’s also not Chrome with a layer of paint. So that’s the obvious solution. Degoogled Chromium is the other.

      It 100% can break due to updates. I’ve had compatibility get broken out of nowhere before, it’s rare but it does happen. Typically it’s due to some config change or something with security settings that was changed. Idk. But it does happen and it can be very annoying to fix.

      I say this as a loyal Firefox user ever since I got fed up with Vivaldi. I appreciate Firefox for being what I consider the only decent browser currently available but even then I’m disillusioned to it’s issues.

    The only issues I’ve had with Firefox is when some websites, like Teams, doesn’t “support” it. Even though if you change the browser’s identifier (there’s an extension for that) then it works fine, they just don’t “officially support” it.

      I’m also like 90% sure that “we don’t support it” is artificial, been meaning to test it.

      My Firefox install at the office works fine with Teams but will refuse to load at home. I think it might be a version issue, but I’ll try to establish parity to make sure it’s not Microsoft being fucky thinking they can shaft anyone using Firefox/Linux outside of the office.

    Brave is basically all of the above. I genuinely don’t get how anyone is braindead enough to fall for their “privacy” advertising.

      The intro-to-programming instructor at the school I work at loves it. But he also has a GME To The Moon sticker on his PC. Seems to be a beloved instructor

    Soo, chromium again… just with a few plugins and crypto shit. Or has brave stopped using those?
