With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I tried to install Firefox in my corporate laptop and the ~~anti~~virus marked it as malware ;_;

The corporation is apparently ok with Microsoft spying on us all.

There is a lot of misinformation and people linking articles they haven't really read. I'm not going to address them because I don't feel like it.

I would suggest for anyone who doesn't like how slow and clunky Firefox is, to look into Ungoogled chromium. If you still decide to switch to Firefox, consider librewolf if you are ACTUALLY concerned about privacy and not just jumping on the bandwagon of hating Google ITT

What about LibreWolf, a fork of FF. Suppose to be better for security. Love using it !! Ditched Brave a couple of days ago

Firefox with sideberry (vertical tabs). Ultimate browser.

Love Firefox, but if you want Chrome get Chromium or Brave.

If only Firefox weren’t such a crap dev experience compared to Chrome.

Firefox is only a secondary browser to me these days. I've grown tired of it's performance for years because the Mozilla group would rather keep stuffing unnecessary features into the browser and bring about it's own ecosystem that it may be collecting data from itself that nobody may know about than fixing that god damn memory leak.

FF has been my daily driver... longer than I can remember on essentially anything that can handle a browser. It's powerfull, feature rich, extensible, etc. But it does tend gain weight between major overhauls.

Out of curiosity, being a Linux user, I installed Chromium not 2 weeks ago and the thing is fast. It outperforms Firefox on my aging machine by far. And I was actually surprised. Yes, I do have the ghost of Google just waiting to sink its fangs in me, which I dislike, but I really have to admit the browser is fast, light and easy to approach for new users.

Will I let go of FF? Not really but Chromium did manage to get my attention.

I prefer Vivaldi over Firefox. More features, better customizability.

But the again I might be the only one...

Been a proud Firefox user for a long time. Never switched to Chrome, don't plan to.

I love Firefox, been ride or die since I started. Chrome is just pure Spyware.

At least the guys at Tumblr are promoting Firefox through femboy and furry memes.

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

My biggest concern with Firefox is that Google continues to make people's life hard. There have already been instances of things loading slowly because of crippled standards that only work on Chrome, or features like in-page translate only being available in Chromium based browsers.

Overall I've really enjoyed using it for the past 15 years or so, but it's definitely had periods of very rocky performance
