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.
What is “harmful online advertisement”?
What is this “online advertisement” that you speak of?
Advertisements with random buttons that download malicious files into your system redirect you to phishing sites.
wow. it almost feels like it’s kinda bad for almost all of the browsers to be based on a browser developed by demons
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.
The funny(or rather, sad) thing is that if a site doesn’t work on firefox is because they use chrome specific shit instead of the standard that was agreed on before chrorium came out, i agree that Mozilla should improve their engine more tho
Umm I use Jira and Confluence on Firefox every day without issue. Not sure what you’re talking about. The only time I’ve ever had to use Chrome in my professional career were certain tools that require chrome dev tools. Otherwise, it’s Firefox for everything.
I use firefox at work for everything except for our ansible platform which only allows SSO on Edge for some reason
Nothing is perfect, though. We always have to keep one Chromium browser as a backup when Firefox faces compatibility issues on many websites. You can choose from many, including ungoogled Chromium, Brave, Helium, etc., which respect privacy.
Also, there is an extension called ‘Chrome Mask’ in Firefox which helps most of the time.
At least Firefox has a disable AI switch, while many other browsers are just forcing it.
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.
Measurable? How about you back that up with a source.
His proof? a payslip from Alphabet.
(/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.
I measured it with a ruler and it’s about 3 inches less secure.
What’s that in metric measurements?
Something a bit more than 7.5cm, less secure.
That sounds pretty average to me!

The issue I take with the analysis is that data theft by Google is not flagged as a secure problem because it’s a feature.
That’s because security and privacy are two different things.
Oh … derp … I thought this was posted in the privacy community.
I’m a Firefox die hard fan, but educated with sources, don’t fear monger
