Because it's good
I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it's because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it's bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can't get pulled away from it. Its all about what you're used to.
Guess.
Pornhub loads videos slightly quicker (not from personal experience)? I dunno
Tried to download a bank statement the other day and Chrome marked it as malware. Also happened with my Internet bill. I'm done with Chrome
Because Brave didn't allow add-ons when I tried it. This was years ago so no idea what it's like now
Absolutely. I only use chrome for d&d stuff because some specific formatting gets screwed up on Firefox.
I switched when they added tabs in version 1.5 (I think) and it's pretty much the only browser I've seriously used since.
Writing Firefox extensions sucked.
I haven't tried web extensions.
Its not Google
So is there like a Firefox equivalent to ChromeOS? Wikipedia mentions a few discontinued projects by companies but that's it. I still like the concept of a really minimal device that outsources storage and heavy computation (probably to a server I also own).
For the price of mild inconvenience in some cases I get to add a tiny little bit of resistance against chromium monopolistic rule.
Whatβs the alternative if you try to avoid google?
