Is not chromium, has a good UI, supports manifest v2, is open source and have native support for autoscrolling on linux
It also supports MV3 without removing the blocking WebRequest hook.
It’s not Chrome or Chromium derived. Google has incentives to mine me for data. Mozilla, not so much. I don’t trust Mozilla completely, but I certainly trust them more than Google to have my best interest at heart.
Mozilla is mostly funded by Google:
There are other reasons, but if I had to point only one word: containers.
Switched to Chrome a few years back when Firefox killed XUL and bundled too much bloatware.
Now I’ve switched back to Firefox because it’s good again and Google is doing too many evil things lately (Web Integrity).
The mobile version has addons like ublock-origin and bottom search bar. Plus, Chrome wants you to enjoy the web, which is full of ads. I don’t, that’s why.
Supports extensions on mobile
Because it is fucking awesome.
Plus on mobile, I likes my ublock, dark reader, etc.
Because I hate ads.
Container tabs. No more need for separate chrome profiles.
Oh THAT’S how you do it? That was one feature of Chrome that I couldn’t figure out how to do with Firefox. Thanks!
Glad I could help.
With treeview tabs it’s even more awesome. Really loving Firefox, only recently got it. Only annoying thing is on Android it reloads tabs when I switch between apps.
Ad blocking on desktop and mobile is awesome.
And it’s vital to have multiple browser engines in the wild for interoperability. If we go all Chromium-based, we’re going to eventually pay for that like IE6.
And Google is kind of an untrustworthy POS of a company these days.
It’s got a cool fox logo
One browser ruled by google is not good for anyone.
Because I like having RAM to spare
Because I feel shamed every time I check privacytools.io if I don’t.
/s it’s great but I need a chromium backup. Brave is the best chromium clone I know.
Btw, if y’all want to download pure firefox, check this, there’s a better official download link with less tracking. In any case, I use weakened librewolf with Medium Ublock blocking (block all 3rd party scripts and frames and enable scripts only for logged sites since they are tracking me through other means anyway)
You might check out privacy guides instead of privacy tools. Basically, the owner of privacy tools wouldn’t make changes that the community wanted, causing privacy guides to be formed.
Read both, form your own opinion. I don’t like how tools has what amounts to ads on it.
cool, I’m a sucker for privacy reccomendations.
Thanks!
To get away from Google. Mozilla seems alright in the grand scheme of things.
