Still the best browser, even though the majority left it for the speed they think chrome has.
Iβm back on Firefox now, but I did originally leave it because Edge had the speed. Not sure if thatβs because itβs more optimized for Windows.
I mean yeah, all these big tech companies are trying to make their products feel faster, because that's the only space they can compete. When it comes to privacy, they all lose.
YouTube videos for some reason won't load for me on Firefox. I switched to the Waterfox fork and it's fine.
Well, Google has been caught trying to make their sites slower / malfunctioning on Firefox. Usually they get away with it by saying it's a mistake.
Google just maliciously makes their websites work way worse on Firefox. For YouTube I personally just use FreeTube on desktop and Tubular (A NewPipe fork) on Android so I never have to interact with that goddamn website
As someone who uses tubular I wish it got updated more tho. The number of debug versions I have installed from pull requests is like 5 at this point π
I'm fine with a slow update cycle as long as they don't wait too long to actually merge app breaking features, like when recently youtube changed a few things and videos would no longer load.
Chrome definitely has the more sleek and responsive UI.
But that's all Chrome has.
