   leaving chrome and joining firefox is a lot like leaving twitter and joining mastodon

   kind of a "why the fuck didn't I do this sooner?" kind of vibe

     @Nigma@mastodon.social I've probably used Firefox based browsers as my main browser for the past 20 years. Never really cared for the Chrome based stuff.

     @SuperDicq chrome kept me there because of the easy sync with google accounts (and google phone) but today chrome started lagging on my e-book platform and that was the last straw fuck this noise

     @Nigma@mastodon.social I know Mozilla offers sync services too, but personally I'm not a big fan of syncing anything between my devices.
     
     I consider each of my devices to have its own unique purpose with its own unique settings and such. I would not want to share things between them.

     @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @Nigma@mastodon.social I am indeed also curious about what Ladybird will became.
     
     I have a bad feeling about the project however because it uses a permissive license I'm afraid it will only play into the hands of proprietary forks and not launch us into a great new era of freedom respecting browsers.

     I was using Firefox for a very long time but it fell off in recent years so I ditched it. Curious about Ladybird though, new open source browser written from scratch. Might switch to it from ungoogled-chromium once it matures a bit. It's still pretty early in development.

     @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @Nigma@mastodon.social If you like the older versions of Firefox from before Mozilla became what it was today you should try Palemoon. It is a fork of a really old version of Firefox, but still maintained in a way that it supports most modern browser features making it almost entirely its own unique browser engine.

     @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @Nigma@mastodon.social Sure, I still think Palemoon is really interesting and a lot of effort goes into it.

     @dushman@hollow.raccoon.quest @Nigma@mastodon.social Palemoon uses good old XUL extensions instead of the modern WebExtensionsAPI. There are plenty of them, but a lot of them are just old.
     
     You can really do a lot using Greasemonkey tho

     The amount of extensions is pretty abysmal, which is an issue for me. I really like having things like ublock origin, CAD, Keepass-XC and a couple of others. Firefox also has them but it runs like shit in comparison.

     Vivaldi is proprietary lol. I've tried it and see no point in using it over ungoogled-chromium, better privacy cuz it has no telemtry or anything like that.

     @SuperDicq @Nigma @coolboymew @dushman i don't like brave's crypto shit but you can turn it off and get a clean browser with a built-in adblock that is actually really good and won't fall victim to manifest v3 because it's a separate thing written in rust.

     was using waterfox for a few years, switched to brave and found it to be a much nicer experience personally. it's less hungry and was easier to work with.

     afaik, it is among the best performing browsers, with edge actually being a contender for the best but the ms shit definitely shows.

     if you're really going ham on trying to have the most secure/private browsing experience possible without just flat out not using the clearnet at all, then using hardened firefox and only enabling javascript when you actually have to and shit is the way to go. for other people that just want a good out of the box setup though, where you just gotta turn off some crypto shit, brave is great.

     opera gx, on the other hand, force feeds shit into their browser like vtuber streams and jump scares. kinda bordering on unethical there, imo. absolute meme browser.
