anything specific that firefox lacks that is keeping you on chrome?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Not the one you replied to but I'm also on Chrome. Haven't found a good reason to switch.

I'll be honest, not a lot of pros to using Firefox if you don't care about using the best adblocker (uBlock origin). That said, if you haven't tried it recently, you should give it a shot. I would recommend installing uBlock Origin and Dark Reader (if you like your pages dark) for the best experience.

It's not as fast as Chrome (not noticeable on newer devices) but I personally disagree with giving Google so much power over the web, so I'm ideologically opposed to using anything based on Chromium or not open source, so my options are limited.

Adblocking isn't a good reason to switch?!

Total cookie protection.
Ublock origin.
Breaking the google monopoly to prevent enshitification.

Each of those on their own is a good enouh reson imho. But with all 3 firefox is a slam dunk ;)
