With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    2 years later, the “Manifest” is doing it’s job and still I know some people that would not leave their favorite Chrome.

    I have been using firefox wince forever, never really cared about privacy tbh…i just like it 🤷🏼‍♂️

    What’s the real concern about privacy anyway? I mean google (gmail) and apple (iphone) already know more about me than my family…

    I tried to install Firefox in my corporate laptop and the antivirus marked it as malware ;_;

    The corporation is apparently ok with Microsoft spying on us all.

    I switched about a year ago. My only complaint on desktop is different short cuts. I hope Firefox sticks around. It’s like the last free browser on the web

    Firefox is my daily driver and use a separate Chromium based browser for Google services, i.e. YouTube, Google Maps, Drive, etc.

    i still have no clue why people use chrome for the past 5+ years, there’s better chromium alternatives if you still want to use chromium for some reason, and there’s firefox which doesn’t support the chromium monopoly, works really well and doesn’t try to restrict you from using adblockers

    Firefox on Android is just not good enough. Mostly slow and glitchy, last time I checked a few months ago. And at least one website wouldn’t load the mobile version properly. In fact, I’m still struggling to find a really good browser for mobile.

    Tried Chrome once and go back to Firefox… There is still some website that requires Edge or Chrome. Which one is worst in terms privacy?

    To be honest, Firefox works perfectly fine and it is not that difficult to navigate through.

    The price to pay for convenience is too steep for most people to migrate. Also if you just an average user, most of the time you will not get instant gratification for being more privacy-aware. The more you try to be more aware the more you realize that to achieve a certain level of privacy is really a pain in the ass.

    I’ve played around with a few browsers, and while Firefox is a better alternative to chrome, I’d more recommend a privacy hardened fork of firefox such as LibreWolf or GNU IceCat. I’ve also used mullvad browser which is kinda neat.

    Some people are too comfortable using chrome for it’s extension library however, so if a mozilla-based browser doesn’t fulfill the extensions requirement, Brave browser is a good choice. I haven’t tried de-googled chromium, but I imagine it’s food for the reasons it says on the tin.

    I switched to mull which I think is basically a fork of Firefox when bromite seemed to be dead.

    No complaints it works great.
