I've moved back to Firefox but damn it keeps mangling my streaming audio in some cases and there doesn't seem to be a fix despite spending most of last night going through the limited solutions. Seems like this is a common problem for many Firefox users so Chrome will stay in play for some of these uses.

Previously Chrome did it all...

I actually uninstalled Firefox a few months ago on my mobile devices because certain websites for my work were not displaying well now thankfully they have been fixed. Installed the Iceraven fork which is amazing.

For a reason I'm not yet sure about, the official website for provincial parks in my province refuse to establish a secure connection with Firefox. I've switched to FF a few months ago now and aside from that specific website not working correctly, the rest is fine to me.

have you tried spoofing your user agent with the useragent switcher extension?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Not yet. I just use a different browser for now. It's an intermittent issue where it just randomly fails the SSL handshake.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.sepaq.com. SSL received an unexpected Server Hello handshake message.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_UNEXPECTED_SERVER_HELLO

Apparently I can also try to change SSL and TLS options. I'll experiment a bit and see. I guess I should also let the website know. Maybe it's just a configuration issue on their end, and other Firefox users are facing the same error. I use this website to make camping reservations and as winter is coming where I am, I have a few months to try different options before it becomes a bit more annoying again.

I did it on my phone and work PC. I'm still running Brave on this little linux laptop by my TV. Not sure if I have to change that.

Am I out of the loop on what the issue with chromium is? Currently I mainly use ungoogled chromium on my desktop.

[–] Klaymore 3 points 9 months ago

It gives Google a huge amount of control over the internet, like recently when they thought about getting websites to add DRM so they could only be accessed from official Chrome browsers on authorized devices and such. They also added ad tracking directly into the browser, which might not be in ungoogled chromium but it'd be more work for them to remove it, and maybe later google makes it required to use chromium. And if they get their way with the website DRM they could try to force everyone to use specifically Google Chrome and then they can track everyone. It's important that we have other browsers such as Firefox so that Google can't just do whatever they want.

I wish Firefox had native tab grouping. That's the only thing I miss from chrome.
