By the way, you chrome users loss many powerful functionalities. Your daily browsing become less secure and more exposed to harmful online advertisement created by google itself. Pop the bubble and wake up. Consider another browser.
Work stuff - primarily Jira and Confluence - has major problems on Firefox, so for that content it is ride or die with whatever browser allows people to get paid.
It would have been really nice if the Firefox devs had chosen to make more improvements to the browser rather than e.g. shove more AI into people’s faces, but I don’t control their choices, only my own in response.
wow. it almost feels like it’s kinda bad for almost all of the browsers to be based on a browser developed by demons
I’m sure someone will come in and say how their chrome based browser is better somehow
In fairness,Firefox is stillmeasurablyless secure than Chrome, even after everything Google has put it through. You should avoid Chrome (and Edge) as much as you can, but Chromium itself is stillbettermore secure than Firefox (Gecko) unfortunately.Hopefully ladybird can bring some real competition to the browser market…
Firefox is still measurably less secure than Chrome
Source: Trust me, bro
IronFox, the Android hardened Firefox say so and provide some sources.
Source: Trust IronFox, bro
IronFox: Yeah, there are security issues. We’re not gonna list them, or reference anything. Trust me, bro.
Well yes, I would trust Ironfox. But they do reference things, there are links you can click.
Measurable? How about you back that up with a source.
(/j)In all seriousness though, this sums it up quite well: It is a few years old, but most of the problems still apply https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html
I said measurably because I do remember seeing benchmarks somewhere about the browser security, but as of now I can’t find them. That said, while Firefox is worse, from a security standpoint, than chrome, it’s generally more private (letterboxing, resist fingerprinting, etc.) but for me, the security tradeoff isn’t worth it.
I know a lot of people probably won’t believe me when I say this, but I do like Firefox (a lot more than Chrome and its derivatives) but when you can’t sandbox browsers without significantly weakening the browser’s sandbox (a little unintuitive), I choose to put security and browser integrity above personal preference.
If you or anyone else wants to use firefox, it’s not like you’re instantly going to compromise your machine. Firefox just lacks a lot of the security that chrome has, and thus has a greater potential for exploitation.
His proof? a payslip from Alphabet.
