Firefox and Forks, or perish.
Firefox works great.
download firefox
look inside
80% of mozilla revenue is from google
You can’t escape
Download Firefox
Change default search engine
Problem solved 😁
Who cares where the revenue comes from? There’s no google spyware in there, and it’s competition, that’s what really matters.
I just don’t like that we’re relying on the goodwill (or need for token “competition” to try to avoid antitrust) of Google for Mozilla to stick around, an ad company shouldn’t be de facto controlling almost every single browser
Even if the Mozilla foundation went bankrupt tomorrow, Firefox would persist. It might not be as quick to update, but it’s an open source project that people will keep working on, regardless of the money.
Nah

(Web 2.0 and it’s consequences…)
Why I dislike web apps. They make the devs lazy enough to not bother making a native app
Why even make a desktop app at this point? I get doing that if it has some inherent advantage over the web version, but why go through the trouble of making another program if it’s just gonna be the same but in electron?
Think of all that lovely data and tracking you can slurp up when unconstrained by the browser sandbox.
I still prefer FF or Vivaldi over Google Chrome. Yes Vivaldi is Open Source Chromium, but at least it doesn’t have the Chrome crap in it.
Vivaldi contains Chromium, but it isn’t itself open-source, by the way.
They say of themselves that “for all practical purposes the Vivaldi source code is available for audit”. I would not fully agree with that either, but I guess, at that point the open-source purists have already lost interest anyways.

But what about mobile? I started using FF and I have to admit that Chrome is a better mobile experience. Brave isn’t for me either.
Edit: lol I’m sorry my experience doesn’t match yours and I chose to ask a question.
Firefox has ad blockers on mobile.
That immediately makes the mobile web useable again.
FF mobile is slow
The Reddit hive mind behaviour is seeping through the cracks.
For me personally, the experience is allowed to take a hit, hell even a major hit, if the browser respects me as a user. FF seems to be better on that front although I’ll confess I use Vanadium on my phone. Its GrapheneOS’ default browser.
“Everyone that doesn’t share my specific preferences is a sheep (╯° □°） ╯”
There are two browsers, chrome and FF.
It feels very weird to say but
I think maybe
the world was better when Trident existed??
SILENCE THIS HERETIC!
Three if you count Webkit/Safari
I don’t think I can install it on my android phone, so I don’t count it
IIRC the Steam browser also uses WebKit tho
Not since 2014, where they switched to blink (chromium)
If you’re not a fan of Firefox right now, with the few odd decisions they’ve been making, try Floorp or Zen. They’re quite good forks of Firefox and don’t seem to have any of the recent Firefox oddness in them.
why floorp??
Not even an option.
What, because of the stupid name?
the devs are fucked
I shall not stoop so low as to using a browser named ““floorp””.
What’s preventing me, a private user, from just creating my own web browser? it’s a program like any other that just needs to be able to access each websites’ server and display its files right? You can’t tell me that nobody else has ever wanted to make their own alternative, so why do we never hear about them?
Plenty of alternative to Chromium already exist, not all good.
