IDK WTF is causing it but for the last few months if I try to search something on Google using Firefox it just locks the fuck down and I have to force quit Firefox from task manager to get control of my browser back. Just happened 3 times back to back. I assume it has something to do with using either uBlock Origin or bad mesh between Firefox and Google. Maybe its time to switch to Duck Duck Go?

If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

google works fine using Firefox and ublock for me

Probably corrupted data in the browser cache. Id try clearing the cache and see if it works

Go to Tools -> settings -> privacy & security

Scroll down to cookies and site data. You can do the nuclear option and clear everything with Clear Data, or can go to Manage Data and just delete the ones for google.com and see if that gets it.

Is Chrome still a resource-sucking vampire? That's my reason.

What? Resource sucking has always been Firefox's gimmick.

The issue is more about how resources are utilized in order to prioritize the process of the business and how to play it on PC

No, quite the opposite, I'm afraid you grasp the situation entirely. Which is dangerous

Mainly because Chrome is trash designed to be used by the least common denominator and treats users like idiots. Oh, and because it uses about triple the memory of Firefox. Oh, and Chrome is going to be disabling ad blocking. Probably more stuff I'm forgetting

DuckDuckGo is the best one, clean interface and most relevant results

StartPage is another good one if you still want Google's results, but not actually going through Google

Brave Search is looking to be alright, but it's still brand new and still has a few kinks to iron out

Well, for one, uBlock Origin won't be working in Edge and Chrome for much longer.

sounds like a firefox issue

me, i'm also partial to webcrawler, startpage, ixquick, and yandex

webcrawler has pretty expressive queries like google, startpage and ixquick are privacy-oriented like duckduckgo but less sketchy, and yandex is an awful search engine but its reverse image search is unrivaled

Google has been ass for at least the pass 5 years or so. Whatever the case is, it's been time to ditch Google.
