Thread 106518247

I've tried to move to Firefox from Chrome, but Firefox is just so fucking clunky it's unbelievable.
It has so many annoying quirks that make it a pain to use.
Chrome just fucking works.

Installed it once, on first launch it kept opening tabs nagging me to set it as default browser, haven't tried it even since. Obvious malware

If it's a choice between using Chrome and not using Chrome, I'll take the latter thanks

given that you "moved from chrome", i can only assume that chrome predates you and deduce you are probably some maladapted brain damaged zoomer who has trouble with folders and cant cook a hotdog to save his life.

Nobody would employ them. The only place where they can spew their opinion is here where you can post anonymous..

True, I always keep coming back to some chromium browser.
Worst thing is that Firefox won't get better, Mozilla keeps adding normie shit that nobody needs instead of making the actual browser great.

Firefox is better for browsing while chrome is superior for streaming content.
I use both browsers on my monitors.
Computers do not lock you into using only one.

It doesn't matter how many times you type Skill Issue, Firefox is aids.
Firefox 2.5 was the last good Firefox, 3 onwards ruined it more and more as time went on, adding useless shitty features every other few updates that nobody fucking asked for, ruining the UI constantly, killing off XUL support, that disastrous tab bar they did a while back.
Do I still use it?
Yes, on PC and Android, but it is a secondary browser now.
More so in the case of Android I value it immensely for userscript support.
But if that never existed, I'd simply change the code to use node / python to fetch shit for me instead as that's all I use it for - fetching beyond the bounds of localhost.

>>106519582
Does it only happen for certain formats? Because I never encountered this.

Once Firefox is fine tuned it's ok but I don't need to restart it every hour or so and for some reason it grinds to a halt if you have the history page open.

good morning

>>106518247 (OP)
if you were gonna do this bit you could do chromium, ungoogled chromium, fuck even edge. Youre clearly to dumb to use a hipster fork of FF so i will at least tell you to open the settings, click the search bar, type "sponsor" and untick everything, then type "suggest" and untick everything, and type "telemetry" and untick everything. This and ubo will get it at least working while you rtfm and google how to actually debloat and harden your browser.

>>106520781
or you could do none of that and just install brave
god you fanbois are retarded

Firefox's main issue is the small dev team compared to Chromium that is contributed by both Google and Microsoft, and has tons of smaller projects forking from it too like Yandex, Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, DuckDuckGo, etc. Chromium is also like 82.5% of all internet users, Safari is around 15%, and Firefox and it's forks are around 2.5%. Sites just don't care to optimize or make sure Firefox is compatible with them, so all the pressure is put on Mozilla devs to fix the issues. It's honestly over, I think accepting Chromium as the only base for browsers is just reality, but you can fork Chromium into different sides while keeping the same engine base.

It's either that or ads, pick your poison.

>>106518247 (OP)
I just don't have words to express why I find Firefox bloated as fuck

>>106521770
browsing anything but static sites makes it memory leak like hell

>>106521729
Pretty much every chromium fork still allows UBO or UBO lite, which does work, just less control. It absolutely is not a "pick your poison" scenario, at least not yet, and brave's shields work quite well ootb.

I say this as a 20+ year ff user.

>>106521883
Not sure if its a problem with Librewolf specifically, but I've watched it memory leak to oblivion a couple of times and eat up every system resource available.

Hasn't happened yet on the most recent version tho

>>106520752

>>106518247 (OP)
I'll always use it because of it's customization, but it's true that it's way slower and often unresponsive.

>>106518247 (OP)
Works on my machine.
Also no ads.
Not a single one. I use 6 adblockers. And anti tracker extentions.
Sounds like youre gay.

The absolute jackasses at Mozilla have decide to break the browser if you don't restart it after it updates.
Your tabs may or may not be restored. Screw your train of thought. They know better than you.

>>106523012

u only need one on chromium or firefox

Firefox Zero user.js removes all the bloat: https://pastebin.com/z2fsL15G

>OOOH I TRIED TO USE THE OTHER BROWSER BUT OOOH THE CLUNKINESS

>I CANT STAND THE CLUNKINESS, SAVE ME NIGGER MAN

I'm using Firefox ESR on my Debian 12 32 bit netbook with 1 GB of RAM. It works fine. Just a little slow to start.

>>106524329
I meant Chromium browsers (they were shilling Brave and talking about how uBlock Origin lite is still available despite it lacking the same features as uBlock Origin and it never supporting blocking CNAME Cloaking since it lacks the Firefox specific APIs for that) but yes, Safari does also have strong protections if you happen to be using iOS or macOS.

>>106525297
ah I See and yeah you're right, block origin lite isn't that good compared to block origin, it's lacking lot of stuff.

>>106518247 (OP)
what do you miss in Firefox that Chrome can do? what do you find clunky in Firefox?

>>106518247 (OP)
it's slower but if you have an ancient pc you'll notice that

>>106518247 (OP)
Firefox is literally a clone of Chrome now, if you have problems with Firefox then you also have the same problems on Chrome

>>106525651
>>106526284
Chrome is way better than Firefox when it come to displaying many many tabs, even with tab width set to the minimum in Firefox.

>>106527086
On firefox you're expected to install tree style tabs.

>>106527092
tree style sucks though

I use the DDG browser and it’s great. Came from Brave because of some bull fucking shit that fucktard browser kept doing wrong.

>>106522576
32 gigabytes are more than enough for my needs.

This thread proves that 3chin is compromised.

Firefox went from great to absolute horseshit, now it can't even reopen my closed tabs without resetting these days ffs, and I procure to not have more than 8 tabs max opened on it. Brave is pretty much the only one that works for me today, and that is fucking grim.

>>106519802
I'm yellow, though.

>>106527174
>I don't like vertical tabs

Which is it white man? Maybe you need to buy a billboard sized monitor to fit all your tabs horizontally.

I use Edge on all platforms I use (macOS, Linux, Windows, Android)
works great

>>106529825
only issues are following:
>macOS beta - display server crashes randomly when watching youtube videos (seems to be fixed?)
>linux - have to set weird environment variable on wayland to get good scaling

otherwise no issues

>>106529248
same, they got me because they had a cute icon back in the day and i never bothered looking at anything else

>>106529825
Do they have working hardware video decoding on Linux?
(Firefox does)

>>106520000
its fucking crazy to me that there are people who have never tried firefox at all and only use chrome. That shits crazy to me. I thought literally everyone used firefox before chrome even zoomers i thought would be on firefox first or at least IE.

>>106529839
idk, i haven't had any issues and i watch videos on youtube while also playing vidyas
if the vidya ever seems slow, pausing the youtube helps
this is on 4090

>>106529853
Kek, I just installed it and the first thing I see is a screen that doesn't even have window decorations (I did not hide them, this is how it actually looks out-of-the-box).
Dear me, Microsoft, how did you fuck up that badly?

>>106529883
your DE looks archaic to be fair

>>106529899
It's KDE Plasma 6, either the first or second most popular desktop environment depending on who you ask.
It's not KDE's fault either, Chrome(ium) doesn't look like that. Whatever they did to it they made it worse. It does look fine after you skip through this initial setup bullshit though.

I've noticed the flame war rule on this board never gets enforced. Might as well just remove the rule

>>106529907
never had that issue on my kde, probably a you problem
I love and use Edge on all my systems.

>>106529883
what kind of retarded installed so many extensions. fucking hell

>>106529923
The browser is fine, it's just this initial setup that they made. Chrome is fine and any other application is fine too, this is just some shit bug on their end somewhere.

It might be related to the fact I have three monitors and it somehow picking the wrong size and dimensions.

I just installed the Edge Developer version and they seem to have fixed this.

>>106529950
Somebody that actually uses their browser for than shitposting.

>>106529966
there's a bug on edge on linux where you need to pass a flag on startup if you use display scaling
add --ozone-platform=wayland to your flags in whatever you use to launch it and it will look normal if you're on KDE or whatever

>>106529977
They fixed it in the developer version and the actual browser does look fine, as I said. It's pretty amateurish though. Chrome(ium) never had these issues.

>>106529983
i didn't used linux in months but i still use edge on all my devices, sorry for outdated advice

>>106519582
>only problem I have with it is the CORS errors it gives me when trying to post images to 4chan which are driving me up the walls
What in the actual fuck are you doing, nigger?
t. lifelong Linux/Firefox/4chan user and I have never once in my life encountered this issue at all

>>106529988
I've encountered that, this is a misunderstanding on their part of what CORS actually is. It's not a Firefox issue. It's the server telling you to fuck off.

You can think of CORS like a firewall for web servers. The server sets rules and the client (Firefox) enforces them. Chrome and other browsers do the same thing too but where things get interesting is when sites respond differently to Firefox than they do with Chrome.

The browser will make an OPTIONS request to see what it's allowed to do and validate the headers it returns and sometimes the server will see you're using Firefox on Linux and shit itself or have aggressive rules that conflict with extensions like 4chanx so the browser will block something it probably shouldn't have.

>>106518247 (OP)
yeah it seems like every update breaks something. the last update fucked up youtube fullscreen for me

skill issue
also, user.js

>>106530033
The most common type of error you'll see is something like "Preflight check failed" (if you open the developer console, otherwise it'll just silently fail):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/CORS/Errors/CORSPreflightDidNotSucceed

This is especially annoying in the case of some sort of network issue (not yours) because it will just fail until you try it again.

Seriously? Your completely unhinged ranting about Firefox is just pathetic. It’s clear you're trying to get a reaction from someone who’s simply enjoying using software that works for them. Instead of wasting your time insulting others, maybe try focusing on constructive criticism or learning how to use a computer properly. Your language is abusive and completely inappropriate. Grow up.

>>106529820
>I hate the tab bar being compressed to the size of ants because I hoard too much porn
Never said that Raj, I love being able to see all me tabs instead of having to scroll through them like some kind of cuck on Firefox.

>>106518247 (OP)
Clearly too low IQ to use Firefox since you can't even post any specific issues

Firefox tards will pretend firefox is fine despite it constantly losing in every benchmark, there being major sites like parts of google or snapchat or government sites that straight up don't work or allow firefox, the fact that it still has no proper sandboxing and is terrible for security, the fact that it literally can't display animations, gradients in images, or render text properly on sites. The fact that it can't play a long youtube video or playlist without at some point audio going quiet or freezing, the fact that it has a billion memory leak issues, the fact that it is more bloated and takes more ram than even chrome now, the fact that it ships with broken features constantly like the new AI feature that somehow without being used just takes up a extra gb of ram until it was patched a few weeks later, the fact it can't display UI animations at higher than 60fps. Firefox is literal jeetware. Kill yourselves. You are all fucking blind and retaded if you can use it without issues.

>>106527086
>chrome better accommodates for my mental illness
Remove yourself, you will never need those tabs, either save them into bookmarks, or just close them

>>106518247 (OP)
Only bad thing is shit performance, but it's still better than supporting the Google monopoly over the web standard.

>>106519582
Not fault of Firefox, but web devs.
Chromium is made for zoom zoom toddler devs who barely understand what a header is, so it silently ignores a huge amount of security and web standard violations, Firefox does not and actually enforces them, so if devs fuck up CORS setup, you get errors, you also get cookie warnings, because again, webshitters can't bother to actually test their website beyond "do pretty colors show up?"

>>106532534
>Not fault of Firefox, but web devs.
not true.
if firefox had the users chrome has we would develop for firefox etc.
