No sorry, I give Firefox a try about once a year and every time so far I have switched back because some random websites were unusable. Maybe it works if you are de-googling your life at the same time and consciously choose to use apps over websites whenever possible.

Sorry everyone on "hacker" "news" I cannot provably see into a strangers heart of hearts in a way that would satisfy you
I don't follow, especially since this is a reply to your own post. Can you clarify?

I love Firefox. It just doesn't always feel like it loves me back.
Same. I want to love Firefox, but it does not have the polish on Android compared to Chrome-based browsers.

Here's a fun example https://archive.is/ZtQpj Another funny moment from this guy https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814#issuecommen...
These both look within the realm of reason. Not that you must agree with them, only that they are not some kind of hideous evil.
If he really did not want “political drama” or whatever there are far more effective ways to handle it that don't allow you to also signal your disapproval/disagreement with the content.
TL;DR: he handled it in a way that expressed his disagreement while staying plausibly deniable.
I gave Firefox a chance as my PDF reader as it has a pretty efficient engine. But that didn't work out as I don't need to read PDFs often so every time it launched, it ran an update that added 10s to reading the PDF... :/ My current main browser across desktop and mobile is Brave. Pretty happy with it. Overall more efficient and with a better UI than FF. I've used FF for many years, but I feel it's simply not as good…
I am hanging on! At home I only use Firefox. At work, unfortunately, I need Chrome for a few things that do not work well with Firefox (most Google products), but for everything else I use Firefox. IMHO, that Firefox can only really stay free if it is supported by donations (i.e. people like us who use it). Anything else will lead to various things that either push people away or make less free - probably both.
> The only holdout would be Apple Safari, hanging in there only because it’s the enforced default on iPhones. This is one of the big reasons I'm against the EU trying to force Apple to open up the iPhone and allow other rendering engines. The market share of the iPhone is the only reason Google doesn't have 90+% marketshare, at which point no one will even bother testing in other browsers or worrying if features are…
it's not like the types of webapps that are broken on firefox dont also force you to install an app if you're on a phone.
i do wish govts. with spines had real power over big tech besides threatening userbase numbers, since basically everyone in the space is due for a breakup

If 99.9999% is on WWW, nobody will move to Gemini. There is no business to build on Gemini, no publicly accessible, culturally broad community exists on it and none will exist. You'll only find programmers on Gemini. No authors, philosophers, non-IT engineers/makers with their projects. WWW has organically grown. Gemini has to be equally or more capable and more user and business friendly to have a significant contri…
Sounds peaceful. But seriously, web is asymptotically approaching zero usefulness precisely because of all those "capabilities". In those circumstances, can't you see a million nerds muttering "we'll build our own interweb! with blackjack and hookers!" And one of them might even get lucky, and get a tipping point. Gemini's just an example. I don't think web's ever going away for corporate stuff, but I can imagine the…

Not like Chrome, Chrome feels like it LOVES hanging out with me, looking over my shoulder, telling all it's friends about what I'm working on, what I buy, and how much money I make.
And fuck then for buying and killing fakespot.
