Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it's the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it's actively fighting Google's monopoly on web browsing.
Firefox is based. Glad I switched over recently.
Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, and is absolutely better for privacy and security; way more based than Firefox, you should check it out m8 :)

Firefox for life! Well as long as they don't go evil or bankrupt. I am not surprised at all though.
/r/firefox is also still closed and opened up on https://fedia.io/m/firefox. So firefox people are cool in general. 🦊
I stand with Firefox.
It's crazy how low the firefox market share is. It’s like 3% worldwide.
For such a good browser too!
Mistake #1, using chrome. Just switch to firefox ~~or brave~~ just use firefox
Well, there is your problem. Using Chrome.
Such a baseless statement. Ad blockers actually improve performance by removing random junk videos, and images from running on the site.
I'm so glad to have switched to Firefox.
Yes, but if I remember correctly, the UBlock Origin devs said that the current restrictions in Chrome prevent some of the performance improvements seen in FFx because the filtering is done after the element is downloaded. So, it still has to transfer, but isn't rendered or executed. I could be mistaken, though.
What a cunning plan!
You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.
I mean, when an extension needs to block 300 ads...
And some sites are trying to load them again, and again, and again, so the poor plugin has no choice than to go hard on resources.
If you wanna keep using adblocks you should start moving away from Chrome/Chromium-based browsers as soon as possible!!
Bahaha, what a scummy tactic. I suppose if you cast a wide net, you're bound to catch some fish though.

Slowing down their ability to profit off of you, that is.
So I've heard good and bad things about Firefox in this thread. The bad things being mainly the performance, and some sites just don't load...
So my question to you is, If I'm comfortably browsing on Brave with uBlock on, is it really worth the switch right now?
Firefox had some issues like a decade ago on their old engine. In the past few years, they seriously stepped up their game.
If you're a normal user, you probably won't even notice the difference between Firefox and Chomium-based browsers. Sometimes I come across a weird website that doesn't want to load properly, so I'll open a Chrome tab for a few minutes to access it, but that's increasingly rare.
For web development, I generally prefer Chome's debug tools, but do all my normal browsing with Firefox.
The founder of Brave had previously been fired from Mozilla due to his homophobia. Firefox is the more ethical choice.
But it's also perfectly fine for most web browsing, and is the only web browser I've seen with extensions like ublock available on mobile.
You're posting on Lemmy and you joined seven days ago, so it's a safe bet that you have some opinions about Reddit. So I'll put it this way: if you have a problem with the way Reddit concentrates power in the hands of u/Spez and want to support alternatives because of that, then you should also have a similar problem with how Chromium-based browsers concentrate power in the hands of Google and reject Brave in favor of Firefox.
