I'm happy with Brave for the most part but an update with Webview or something broke all browsers using it on my Android Dash unit so I was actually forced to switch to Firefox simply because it works. Now I'm considering switching over on all my devices.
Writing Firefox extensions sucked.
I haven't tried web extensions.
For the price of mild inconvenience in some cases I get to add a tiny little bit of resistance against chromium monopolistic rule.
Whatβs the alternative if you try to avoid google?
Am a masochist and like to do things in spite others. I've been working through browser wars as a developer and hated every minute of adapting things to look good on IE. These days I really dislike Firefox. Mainly because they pretend things work fine and need no optimization or for being set in their ways. Took them embarrassingly long time to implement adwaita theme or Wayland and just told us to use other display server.
But I keep using it because I don't want Google to be this dominant. Giving them more power is always going to end worse for users. So as before am suffering again. Oh well.
For those claiming everything is still fine...
Its the default on my Linux distro
So is there like a Firefox equivalent to ChromeOS? Wikipedia mentions a few discontinued projects by companies but that's it. I still like the concept of a really minimal device that outsources storage and heavy computation (probably to a server I also own).
