Firefox is looking more appealing now.

I've been using Firefox mainly, for A few years, since Google started earnestly talking about removing support for manifest V3.

I only use Chrome for compatibility reasons. Than I switch back over to Firefox.

Challenges are separating myself from the synchronized data universe that is the Google ecosystem. Passwords etc.

Definitely possible. Definitely worthwhile to retain control over my time.

Firefox is a attempt to placate the original citizens of the web whos tools subvert the add surveillance industry .Google is clever enough to know how full blown antagonism to developers ends up. Oh and monopoly laws.

Issue with firefox : zero support for WebUSB!

It was always the correct option, it's a shame it's taken people like yourself so long to get the memo.

It's a shame Firefox sold it's homepage to promote a shitty race-dividing movie, claim social activism, and has forever lost its reputation.

We don't trust google, but it never lied. Firefox lied.

If I cared that much about every online drama I wouldn't be able to use any technology or web service without going insane.

I'm against monopolies & ads and I don't need to watch every movie, so that's an easy choice.

I'm against all those things as well - the only notable difference being that security lapses in the name of "social activism", in a leading browser than millions depend on for more than they should, is simply not permissible to me and many others.

The also impossible delineation between "socially activist ad" and "politically convenient" one make it a tainted resource, both security-wise, and bias-wise.

It is a organization, with no integrity; merely another institutional-preserving husk

> it never lied

It's motto was literally "don't be evil". It takes a significant mental leap to take your conclusion from it's behaviour.

  >significant mental leap

not too significant, if you believe evil doesn't exist, especially to a new-corp-state-actor as big as fkn giigles

What lie did Firefox do? Nothing listed in the examples sounds like a lie
