      I’m sorry to hear people having issues with FF. I remember the instability spell it had way back (6, 7 years ago?) but I’ve had zero issues with it on Mac, Linux and Android.

    Add-ons on mobile. Plus, Chrome is slowly but surely gimping their ad-blocking extensions.

    Because it’s the only browser not based on Google’s Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google’s monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.

    Edit: spelling

      If you’re interested at all:

      Google Chrome is a fork of the open source Chromium with several Google proprietary features. Chromium uses the Blink engine. Blink is a fork of a large component of WebKit called WebCore. Apple primarily develops WebKit (and by proxy WebCore), itself being a fork of KHTML and KJS which were actually discontinued this year.

    I am slowly switching back to Firefox since Google are nerfing ad blockers in Chromium. I’m switching to DuckDuckGo since their search results have become almost unusably bad recently. Unfortunately though, there it’s no usuable replacements for the rest of the Google ecosystem as far as my use case is concerned. I’d even ditch Android if there were a reasonable alternative.

      I don’t understand why people find DuckDuckGo a good alternative. It’s better for privacy yes, but the search results are just as useless and unrelated because they’re based on Google which is just a big ad server now. Every result is find 10 “XYZ’s” on Amazon or Walmart, or the other results for different companies.
