I gave up on Firefox about a month ago. The stupid not being able to copy bug was enough for me. Have had plenty of webpage issues that Chrome and Edge seem to handle just fine. I don't know what's changed lately, but seems as if it's gotten quite buggy.

I gave up on having feet about a month ago. The stupid I hit my toe on the corner of the wall bug was enough for me. Have had plenty of times now where I've ignored that walls might have corners and I haven't banged my toes anymore. I don't know what's changed lately, but seems as if having feet have gotten quite buggy.

Personally when I bang my toes against a corner, I don't think about removing my feet just to prevent toe banging.

Reductio ad absurdum aside, if I'm experiencing an issue in a browser, my first thought is to diagnose and fix the issue or find an expectable workaround rather than change to a browser with obvious privacy issues.

The browser, for me, is a tool to view web pages. If it does not do that for some web page, I'm going to switch to another browser to view the web page. Lots of browsers to try to view that web page I want to see!

They're literally all Chromium unless you think that Lynx renders websites better than Firefox

Lol privacy issues. Best not use the Internet at all my dude. There is no fix for the copy bug. There is no fix for not loading many webpages properly. Firefox can't do it's primary job well enough for me. The other browsers can.

I've never had any problems with Firefox, odd.

If you're using Firefox because you think it offers you "privacy", please be sure to read the Firefox Privacy Notice:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

Currently, you'll see words, phrases, and names like "Firefox sends", "telemetry", "Google", "Microsoft", "share this with our partners", "share that data with its partners", "sends us data", "share aggregated data", "our third-party ad platform Kevel", "AdMarketplace (a third-party referral platform)", "Cloudflare", "Comcast", "Adjust", "Google advertising ID", "our partner Fastly", and so forth.

In my opinion, I wouldn't expect to see any of those in the privacy policy of any software product that truly respects my privacy.

These are telemetry you CAN turn off.
