STOP USING CHROME!

[-] zerozaku@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Although Chrome needs to be ditched, few of the features of it are yet to be implemented into other browsers such as copying images to clipboard and dragging & dropping text from one app to another.

Idk why other browsers are not keeping up or idk if these are Chrome exclusive features.

I copy and drag images and text all the time between Firefox and other programs.

I was talking about Chrome Android as the OP post is a screenshot of it

O yes, smartphone applications have been fucked for a while. It's one of the reasons I don't like to use my phone as a computer.

firefox has everything, and if you still want spyware, just use edge at that point.

oh ok then yes, most mobile browsers still miss some features.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I recently switched entirely to Firefox and have yet to find a feature that I miss from Chrome that Firefox doesn't have.

Do you use Twitch? I'm interested in Firefox but twitch for me is pretty problematic, it seems to have a lot of issues with remaining connected to twitch chat.

Oh also twitch clips and twitch vods are both extremely broken in Firefox and have been that way for years 😓

Another big missing Firefox feature is the ability to just right click a page and translate. I use this all the time in chrome.

Also I really dislike how Firefox has this weird keyboard shortcut that I don't think can be disabled: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1425650 it's been a while since Ive looked around for this issue and it seems some people have a workaround so I should try that. But this bug is incredibly frustrating for me whenever I use Firefox.

I use twitch actively and faced some video playback issues once. Other than that it has been a smooth experience for me in live streams and VODs.

[-] smcharles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Dang, yeah I keep trying to come back to Firefox and I think I could manage it outside of the things above.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but I just use the PurpleTV Android app
