Let me ask you, how much do you use the dev tools and for what?

Usually it’s not about entire websites, it’s the small detail like the font rendering smoothness and a few others.

and Ungoogled Chromium has no fingerprint protection

More or less, but you know as we all as I do that there are extensions for that… and Ungoogled Chromium doesn’t snitch on me so…

Go ahead then.

Librewolf is my second browser, but I don’t see me using it everyday. I like chromium rendering more and the dev tools.

That’s all true, but why take a modified chromium instead of a modified Firefox?

Because chromium rendering is better than Firefox’s and I personally like the dev tools better and my usual target audience in dev uses Chrome. I have LibreWolf as the secondary browser but I don’t see me ever liking the way Firefox renders the web.

Firefox dev tools are much better for typical web development.

Not true, not even close. That was true like 15-20 years ago, but nowadays, especially when I’m debugging Angular (yes the extension for chrome is better) and developing stuff that will be used by people who go for Chrome.

I’m not ever going to use Mullvad Browser, I would rather use stock Firefox than that. I have LibreWolf installed as second browser and I like it at that, but I don’t see myself going away from ungoogled-chromium anytime soon.

That’s fair, but I still wouldn’t trade the amazing font rendering that chromium offers.

That’s interesting… it makes a difference indeed.

All expected.

I have no idea why people use #Chrome. #Firefox looks so much better,

Reason n1: Firefox’s font rending sucks; Reasons n2: Chrome dev tools are better and way more supported by whatever ecosystem you develop in.

You never tried to listen for stock Firefox’s traffic with Wireshark for sure.

People speak very good thing about Firefox but they like to hide and avoid the shady stuff. Let me give you the un-cesored version of what Firefox really is. Firefox is better than most, no double there, but at the same time they do have some shady finances and they also do stuff like adding unique IDs to each installation.

Firefox does is a LOT of calling home. Just fire Wireshark alongside it and see how much calling home and even calling 3rd parties it does. From basic ocsp requests to calling Firefox servers and a 3rd party company that does analytics they do it all, even after disabling most stuff in Settings and config like the OP did.

I know other browsers do it as well, except for Ungoogled and because of that I’m sticking with it. I would like to avoid programs that need no snitch whenever I open them. ungoogled-chromium + ublock origin + decentraleyes + clearurls and a few others.

Now you’re free to go ahead and downvote this post as much as you would like. I’m sorry for the trouble and mental break down I may have caused by the sudden realization that Firefox isn’t as good and private after all.

So… this is like Matrix bridged but for XMPP? Great!

But i do need replication and multi user access.

You can setup one Syncthing instance per user for that. That’s the way it was designed to work.
