    I had my first website tell me today that I can’t access their domain on FF. It was Adobe. Fuck em

    I remember back then when people stop using FF because it used more PC resources than the OS itself and all started using Chrome because it was fast and lightweight.

      Lol, not me! I dropped that shit when it was the slowest, most bloated memory hog! Luckily, it’s much improved now, and is easily the best browser out there…

    I really want to switch back but… honestly: Chromium Edge, despite a few annoying features being shoved in your face, is actually a really nice browser IMO. It’s definitely going to take some time to get used to FF again.

    I’m so used to things like vertical tabs, icon only bookmarks, etc… I know I can change a lot in FF myself, but having to add custom css and whatnot on every device I use FF on is just annoying.

        I had custom css in FF and Firefox sync did not sync those manual edits.

      There are tons of extensions for tab management for Firefox. If vertkcal tabs is just that they’re arranged in lines instead of columns, I’ve used Tree Style Tab and Sidebery, and there are many others.

    Switched last night and damn, Firefox has gotten so much better. Used to be the first browser I manually installed around 2004, until Chrome released around 2008 or something. I love that it has extensions on mobile and bookmark/history sync now.

    Been using Firefox on desktop since it was called Firebird. I’ve jumped to different browsers on mobile, but Firefox on mobile has gotten a lot better since the last time I’ve tried it years ago, so I switched back to it recently.

      This is 100% worth repeating. FF Mobile was borderline unusable ten years ago compared to Safari/Chrome mobile

        I remember my baseline was youtube back then. If the interface looked terrible, I wasn’t ready to switch. Then it started working as expected and the rest is history.

    I’ve moved back to Firefox but damn it keeps mangling my streaming audio in some cases and there doesn’t seem to be a fix despite spending most of last night going through the limited solutions. Seems like this is a common problem for many Firefox users so Chrome will stay in play for some of these uses.

    Previously Chrome did it all…
