Safari is my browser of choice. Until they killed off extensions with Safari 12, just a few days ago.

At best this is a strong exaggeration, and at worse completely wrong.

I really want to use Firefox on Android, but I need a couple things: Desperately need the scrolling in Firefox to feel like scrolling in the rest of the apps. And I would very much like easy tab switching by swiping across the title bar thing, and the new tab/new incognito/back button behaviour. Pls Moz pls
And pull down on page to reload
I'm very upset at this. I use an ad blocker to block analytics and advertising beacons. I want to be signed into gmail and google properties, but not Chrome. I don't want my history to be sync'd to Google's servers for advertising. Now you can't use Chrome if you want your privacy anymore.
Converted a friend too and I am anoying some other people to start using it.

>(Though frankly, if you're using a Mac, Safari should be your browser of choice, if only for privacy reasons.) What privacy protections does Safari have that Firefox doesn't? (Keeping in mind the vast extension store - I include extensions like NoScript within the umbrella of "Firefox")

Which is all great until it gets it wrong, and you have to fight against it. Just this morning I was trying to google a specific car problem, and it decided I was actually looking for a different problem. Had to rephrase my search many times for it to give me what I wanted. I wish there was a search modifier that turned off all the cleverness.
There used to be. It was called "verbatim" search. I can't seem to find it anymore. Quoting the exact phrase gets you a similar result, though.
The new Google Chrome design with version 69 marked the beginning of a new era – Google wants to portray Chrome as something that is way more than a browser. They want you to see it as the primary interface of the web. This is what the average user wants. All complex functionality has been put in the background. Cross-platform integration has been perfected. Give it a year and users around the world will no longer th…
That might all accurately describe what they'd like to achieve, but fortunately we still live in a free market society where there's room for competition (and if there isn't, regulators often step in). I don't find Google to be the best search experience anymore. It gives me too many ads and partnership deals. I use searx.me and it gives me good old fashioned organic web search with results that are just as good. Ple…

I tried using Firefox Quantum since Safari 12 closed off most extensions. Firefox Quantum is laggy in comparison, particularly the UI (web page rendering is fine). For example, dragging tabs to other windows is jittery. Launching preferences page is a bit delayed.
I don't understand why people keep saying Safari closed some extensions. It simply disabled them and they're ready to be enabled again in the preferences panel, simple as that.

I used to this do exactly, but switching to Firefox containers made Chrome redundant. Chrome uses too much memory to leave it running just for few websites, and Google including analytics script as builtin library was the last straw.
> Google including analytics script as builtin library Wait, what? Do you have a source for this?
