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

Firefox' tabs are so darn bad tho. It really bothers me I can't just drag them around

On a Windows machine absolutely. On MacOS, why not trust safari? The battery management for Safari is fantastic.

Al my passwords are in google. I just don't have the energy to migrate, frankly. Chrome does what I want, and the password manager is seamless enough that anything else is less-robust and more work.

You getting fked here or there. So don't think it matters that much.

Alright. Then please tell me a way to circumvent site compatibility enforcement and I will gladly ditch any chrome-related browsers (that most sites are enforcing to use it nowadays) for the beloved fox on fire.

-EDIT And what do you have to say about this? https://youtu.be/_JNg4Ox2Hvc?t=512 .Its a very recent video and has some interesting takes about firefox.

I would love to and have tried. But I've found too many times that Firefox just doesn't work for some sites. And unfortunately some of those sites are needed for my work.

I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can't let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It's an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users' hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.

This is a funny take on internet privacy. You do you. I'm sure you've already left multiple footprints all over the place, thus making this post flawed and irrelevant. Your info, whatever it may be, is already out there.

The time for everyone to do that was 10 years ago. It's too late, Chromium won. I'm pretty sure even manifest v3 isn't going to kill it's market share when it finally drops.

I'll keep using the browsers that serves me the best, and it's not FF. Thank you for your concern.

I used to play around with a lot of internet browsers and executed on top of that scripts in greasemonkey, add-ons, plug-ins, ... . But the trustworthiness of these things were not clear for me anymore. So now I'm at using Edge Chromium. Better the devil you know 🙂

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…

The me from 6months back would be onboard with this idea, I don't really recommend firefox anymore. It's a bloated mess run by a very questionable corp. I had to move to PaleMoon, it's the only acceptable browser for me now.
