I haven’t been using chrome ever since they remove AdNauseam from the web store with no justifiable reason.

They just took it off and kept it that way because there wasn’t sufficient backlash.

I would love to use Firefox, would switch in an instant but the browser feels so barebones. I’m using Vivaldi and that’s how I think Firefox should have been, tons of options and features. Don’t want to install extensions that might be sold to the highest bidder.

I use LibreWolf because Firefox feels to bloated

We are not the same

OrangeCorvus ,
@OrangeCorvus@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, that’s how it should be and I think a browser should adapt to the user.

LibreFox

I think you mean LibreWolf there.

Jungle ,

I do. Corrected.

I’m trying to make the switch to Firefox, but I’m running into some issues. The main one being, I travel internationally a lot for work and rely heavily on chrome automatically translating every web page I visit. Is there a way to have this on both my desktop and mobile (android)? When I look at the available extensions there are like 15 available… Thankfully one of them is uBlock Origin

Firefox does now have built-in page translation that runs offline. While it’s not the best one out there it only needs to connect to the internet once to download the translation data.

sergih ,

I know they recently put the feature in the desktop, did they dobit on mobile too tho?

Lyricism6055 ,

FF doesn’t do that I think. There are addons that u can use for it though.

What is with the almost constant ads for Firefox on this platform? It seems every other day I’m blasted with some “Chrome bad get Firefox” article.

I get it, Firefox is great, we know. Beating a dead horse a bit at this point though.

The /c/technology community is the place for things like this. If you wanted to see less you could block the community.

shea ,

it’s because it’s literally the only non chromium browser that’s a viable alternative. At this point there are literally just 2 options for browsers: chromium based, Firefox based. That’s pretty much it.

corsicanguppy ,

As a user of Seamonkey - which you’d know as Mozilla, the app that Mozilla the company ditched for being ‘too hard’ - I have to say no. While I trust they’re not as evil as Google, I don’t trust them to do the hard part of actual software maintenance.

Synthead ,

I like how they mention Internet Explorer.

Buffalox ,

Internet explorer was the shit in 1992. That’s only 30 years ago, not everybody is quick to switch. 😜
There’s also an icon for Navigator, and none for edge. LOL
Maybe they needed an image that was out of copyright?

Dasnap ,
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

Its biggest selling point was that it was bundled for free with Windows 98 while Netscape Navigator was still a pay-for product.

Buffalox ,

Yes apparently I remembered 3 years wrong according to Wikipedia, I am pretty sure we got Internet Explorer for Windows 3.11, as a separate free product, but Wikipedia states it was released with Windows 95 plus pack in 1995. So 28 years old not 30. But the plus pack although moderately successful cannot compete with being included with Windows 98. The last good Windows version, where you could boot to dos, and fix everything in Windows if they were broken. NT all the way up until Windows 11 sucks IMO. Bad design.

thank you comment section, lemmy is so obnoxious when it comes to firefox ill be going with something chromium based soon now out of spite

Enjoy your ads because adblock on chromium fails

Mandy ,

my man, not only have several forks got inbuild adblockers that wont be affected by manifestv3, ublock origin already got a working version for a long time

Sheeple ,
@Sheeple@lemmy.world avatar

Say that to YouTube when they tell you “UwU please turn off your Adblocker”

That’s the problem with Chromium based browsers.

Mandy ,

your own fault for watching youtube directly and i never had that on a chromium browser, only ever on firefox

Destraight ,

I don’t want to

haha what a cool recurring post

cmgvd3lw ,

Is that moon a browser?

brsrklf ,

I think it’s that :

www.palemoon.org

I briefly used a version of that on a legacy application that needed flash, because it still supports it.

andrew_bidlaw ,

You are correct. I used it on older hardware due to how thin it is, but it has less manpower than more popular forks, so rendering of bloated websites, some of them needing their own workarounds coded in, can be slow and wonky. E.g. Xitter run, well, like xit.

therealjcdenton ,

You’re telling me people actually still use chrome?

Zeroxxx ,
@Zeroxxx@lemmy.my.id avatar

They are. In fact, they make up 60 plus percent of world-wide browser users.

Don’t forget that Chrome is Android’s default browser.

therealjcdenton ,

And that’s a problem

EmperorHenry ,

I like Librewolf better

Sanyanov ,

I.e. Firefox

Whatever forks you choose, they’d better be based off Gecko-based browsers, and the only one now is Firefox (and all that forked from it)

EmperorHenry ,
@EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Librewolf is firefox without the bloat.

Sanyanov , (edited )

Yes, essentially. But that’s still Firefox, and it makes sense to refer to it as such when talking about global things like Manifest V2 support, adblocking, and other basic functional blocks from eagle view.

And then we can go into details and talk about differences between Firefox forks, Librewolf being just one of the most popular. This is important to talk about, just not in this particular context.

It’s like uniting and arguing in favor of Linux regardless of the distros - distro wars are still valid, but not something we should immediately load onto a Windows user. Heck, even if person goes for a goddamn Ubuntu, it will be an improvement. Same logic.

Engywuck ,

Nope. Brave with its builtin adblocker is more than enough. I’d dare to say that any browser with builtin adblocker is going to be more than enough.

p.s.:

“Yeah, but the guy donate 1000 $ to some anti-LGBT org years ago”, “yeah, but the referral stuff”, more crap bullshit, etc… Don’t care. It’s fucking browser, not a religion.

Sheeple ,
@Sheeple@lemmy.world avatar

Brave uses chromium.

Engywuck , (edited )

Thanks for schooling this ex-FF users for almost 20 years. /s

Who cares? It works for me AND I have come to despise Mozilla, so… Brave it it for me.

And no, inbluilt adblockers won’t be affected. They are not extensions. Google can’t do anything about them.

P.S. don’t bother replying, I’m not going to read and I’m not open to debate. Mozilla’s shills/bootlickers better don’t waste their time. Downvote and move along.

Sheeple , (edited )
@Sheeple@lemmy.world avatar

YouTube: “Please turn off your Adblocker”

Chromium user: 😮

Chromium based browsers have a tendency to get their adblocking detected more easily. Edge and Brave are known to be compromised in that way and unable to watch YouTube. Firefox meanwhile isn’t.

Edit: FYI since you’re so butthurt about people replying like the child you are. The replies are also to show others why you are so intensly wrong. You got to post your objectively wrong opinion here, we have all the right to reply
