Current Events > I'm upset that firefox hates its userbase so much.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Anyone else feel the same? It's like they intentionally make sure that every update yields worse results for the browser
---

Only complaint I've had with it ever is moving the "close other tabs" option into a sub-menu
---

Firefox has a huge problem with pushing major codebase rewrites before it's actually ready for the wild.

Pale Moon is my favorite browser as far as design philosophy goes, but it just feels so slow these days and more and more websites don't work with it as well anymore.

Still better than any of the alternatives.

i am not liking the new update on firefox for android.

---

One of the newest annoyances is they removed the drop down arrow for the address bar.

So now let's say I want to quickly go to amazon from the tab I'm on and quickly middle click to open a new tab, nope I have to make a separate tab then type amazon.com
---

I don't like the new update and it broke a lot of my add ons, but the most important ones are working again so I am getting over it. I understand they have to update things for a variety of reasons and it's free and functional unlike Chrome which is unusable on mobile unless you want your entire experience to be ads and scripts blocking you from viewing content.

The only reason I still use Firefox is because I vastly prefer the layout over Chrome.

firefox mobile is unusable now

It can still install uBlock Origin so it beats the alternative.

but... firefox has literally been trying to copy chrome's layout for the past decade. Not once realizing that the whole reason its userbase is so loyal is because it's different.

Brave best mobile browser

In Firefox the useful stuff is in the top left and not hidden behind a couple of dots on the opposite side like Chrome, that's good enough for me.

SeaMonkey is the best.

alt button opens up an actual goddamn menu bar. Chrome and Edge don't do that.

Firefox > Chromium Edge > forks of Firefox and Chrome > literal dog poop > Google Chrome

Every browser except Brave, it found, shares details of users' browsing history with the companies that own them, along with identifiers that indicate the location or identity of the user.

Only time I've ever had beef with Firefox is that one time where it felt like it took 10 years for 60FPS on Youtube.

---

I hate how I can't have my bookmarks page be my home page anymore. There's the collections thing, but I don't want to have to put every single bookmark I have there.

---

I switched to Edge when Windows 10 launched. I used to love Firefox, but I eventually stopped caring about it

---

I miss Opera, but it's not compatible with a anything anymore.

@Lanzol The CEO of Brave, Brendan Eich, made political contributions to opposing LGBT rights in California and to political candidates who opposed LGBT rights. Mozilla made him CEO in the early 2010s and then people got hella pissed off and some of the board members resigned in protest. He was only CEO for 11 days and then stepped down.

Don't know what's happened to him since then, doesn't seem to be a lot of information about his personal/political activity since 2014.

@Turbam Check out Vivaldi, made by the original Opera developers, has a lot of cool features (and some... kinda useless ones but w/e lol). Still Chromium based.

---

I use Fennec on Android to keep the old UI.

I've had virtually no problems with Firefox for years. Still secure, no memory leaks, excellent add-on support. There was some security cert. issue that happened a couple years back that needed a manual workaround for a couple days so that was annoying to deal with.

---

Thanks @Hexenherz , I'll check it out

---

Ok yeah, just a few minutes on Vivaldi and I'm already enjoying the mobile version.
I'm for sure looking at the desktop version when I get home.

---

What's so fuck about Firefox right now? I haven't had any issues

---

I have had some "fatal" glitches in Vivaldi on mobile that make me not use it there... for instance, if I press the Return key to add a space in a post, then the keyboard disappears. And if I use symbols like semi-colons or something then the message box stops showing me any new text that I'm writing until I close the keyboard -_-.

It is lighter on the battery than FireFox Mobile is for sure.

I prefer the Desktop version though, it's really well-built and, just like in good old fashioned classic Opera tradition, was implementing features other browsers didn't have (like being able to manage your Instagram account as if you were accessing it from a phone).

Lol yeah I don't trust that guy, not that something like that makes Brave worse than whatever else is out there on the market.

I still use FireFox even after that Mr. Robot add-on scandal :|

Just switched to brave.

No memory leak? Now that can't possibly be true! Memory leaks have never been that much of a problem for me but isn't firefox/chrome infamous for it
