And yet Firefox marketshare will keep dwindling. Drives me mad!
it's crazy how many people just use whatever is most popular and never question it. the number of people who don't use even a basic adblocker is mind-blowing.
People usually don't respond well with threats they don't perceive as harmful, or can't perceive physically at all. Targeted ads and privacy in general is abstract to many people, and the only time they'll start responding is if their emails or social medias get hacked due to their infos being sold on the dark web or something like that.
It's slower and clunkier. I use Firefox for privacy and addons, but if I didn't have to I'd probably use Chrome.
Explain how , like with examples. I use both every day plus like 4 other browsers and there is no difference a normal user could possible see between the two. All browser have slightly different layouts and features but all at this point have surface functionality that's essentially the same What the hell are you seeing in Firefox that is "slow and clunky"
Pages load more slowly, scrolling isn't smooth, etc. The user experience just feels worse. I have to use Edge and Chrome for work and they feel so much snappier and more enjoyable to use.
I don't know anymore, feels like that's a user-by-user basis. I just moved from Edge to Firefox and it feels exactly as smooth. Perhaps the only time it doesn't feel as smooth is when I play mahjong on the browser, but other than that, it's the same exact experience lol.
