Add-ons on mobile. Plus, Chrome is slowly but surely gimping their ad-blocking extensions.
I used Edge, because it’s genuinely an extremely feature packed browser, but when Google announced the manifest v3, I jumped to Firefox.
Unpopular Lemmy opinion, but I hate it. Firefox always freezes on desktop, especially on YouTube. Firefox on Android feels like it was developed for Android 8.0 and never updated. And the worst part is there’s a bug on the desktop version in the print preview window when it comes to printing shipping labels, so I have not been able to use Firefox for my company for over 8 months now.
I’ve reported the bug every time Firefox updates and the bug persists, but Mozilla doesn’t give a shit. It’s so frustrating.
I’m sorry to hear people having issues with FF. I remember the instability spell it had way back (6, 7 years ago?) but I’ve had zero issues with it on Mac, Linux and Android.
I am slowly switching back to Firefox since Google are nerfing ad blockers in Chromium. I’m switching to DuckDuckGo since their search results have become almost unusably bad recently. Unfortunately though, there it’s no usuable replacements for the rest of the Google ecosystem as far as my use case is concerned. I’d even ditch Android if there were a reasonable alternative.
I don’t understand why people find DuckDuckGo a good alternative. It’s better for privacy yes, but the search results are just as useless and unrelated because they’re based on Google which is just a big ad server now. Every result is find 10 “XYZ’s” on Amazon or Walmart, or the other results for different companies.
