I've tried firefox in the past. Back and forth I go when google does something dumb but I always go back. This time I think I'll deal with the stuff I don't like for now, or maybe make extensions to fill the voids that I miss desperately.

Been using it since the start of the year, the transition was pretty simple. what don't you like?

15 years ago, Firefox would cause my desktop computer to spin up its really loud fan once or twice an hour. It was a room away from my bedroom, but it was enough to wake up my (now) wife, who was angry, but unable to identify the source of the noise. That lasted for a few weeks before I noticed it during the day. When I switched to Chrome, it stopped.

It's totally unreasonable, but it's enough to keep me off Firefox. I'm sure both browsers have been rewritten multiple times since then.

Well, it was, until the whole "web integrity thing".

Yeah. That does sound unreasonable haha.

I used to use Firefox before chrome released. It used to be the best, but chrome took the crown after Firefox became a memory eater.

Now chrome is being all iTunes walled garden, and Firefox also recently overtook it in terms of speed.

I installed it alongside my trusty chrome install, played around with extensions(or add-ons) until the experience mostly matched, and switched over once I was satisfied.

Chrome's still installed if I need it, but I haven't needed it!

It's worth a go at least!

I rely on chromes tab groupings. Nothing in Firefox does as good a job, but I'm getting by just fine for now.

Why so many tabs? I close as I go else it's a cluttered mess.

Is your solution to Firefox not having proper tab grouping "why do you need tab grouping?" Lol

[-] drekly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't have a solution, so I'm having a conversation about it.

Don't treat me like I own Firefox and it's my job to convert everyone.

Why not? It seems like that's exactly what you're doing lol

I'm just asking questions, as I haven't personally had many issues. I've had some, but not the ones mentioned by the people here. I feel like people would prefer to have a browser with an ad blocker so I'm interested in what hurdles people are finding that may be stopping them.

Not everything is an argument.
