so many webapps and logins dont work properly in ff. or lets call it AdFox for now while they're still selling us out to alphabet. so autism is when you just see black or white. chrome isnt bad overall...they have a UX, AdFox isnt good overall for too many reasons. i hope we'll get a real browser before the web is dead.

When have you used Firefox the last time, 10 years ago?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Right? What kind of wildly niche activities are people doing where FF doesn't work? All of my stuff works, and I've never had any weirdness. I browse art, shop online, do social media (a little), check my email, use auction sites, and watch Plex and other streaming services.

There must be an entire corner of the internet I don't even know about.

do social media (a little),

Don't worry, we all do social media at least a little. We're here, aren't we?

I have some telehealth services I need to use occasionally that don't support Firefox, but that's pretty much it. And I guess Google meet is glitchy, but that I can deal with.

I've been using Firefox consistently since the beginning in 2004. And Netscape navigator before that. And I have never had these issues you speak of. I never made the switch to chrome when it was released because I always hated the look of it. Firefox does everything anyone needs to do. I don't understand how some people struggle so much.

I've always wondered what it is that people are doing when they say that FF is too slow or inadequate in some way. But elsewhere in this thread to be found:

There’s only like one notable website I’ve had to use chromium for instead of Firefox.

The website for recalibrating a Google Pixel’s fingerprint sensor. I’ve had to use that website twice, and I just used Microsoft Edge to do it since I can’t uninstall it.

Absolutely wild.

I would use firefox, but youtube is basically unusable on it.

Also wild.

All stuff which is using web serial doesnt work in ff(esp-home or the Installation Of grapheneOS for example). But for this rare tasks i have ungoogled chromium. My daily driver is Zen
