    I just made the switch days ago, couldn’t be happier. Google can suck it.

    Brave and chromium are still safe right ?

    source
    • kattenluik@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Brave has never been a super safe browser, they’ve done some shady things. If you need Chrome just use Chromium with some settings and plugins.

      I’ve never seen someone who actually genuinely needed Chrome though.

      I don’t know, but who cares? What does anyone have against Firefox? It’s fast, has a massive extensions library, open source, secure, private … there’s literally no reason whatsoever not to use it.

        I mostly use Firefox but some Azure admin stuff only works in chrome or edge.

        Different choices? Bad UI? People like me that despise Mozilla? Fuck them.

        People don’t like change. But I’m a hypocrite. I’ve tried switching to Firefox multiple times but I always go back, not even really sure why. I use it as a secondary browser these days.

      If you HAVE to use a blink browser, try Vivaldi. Brave is not the “privacy alternative” people seem to think it is.

      No, Chromium will not be fine. Apparently Google have already pushed the code for their “integrity API” with Chromium on git.

      Don’t know about bare Chromium, most likely no, Brave on the other hand will still support them last I heard

    Still find it crazy when one company decides the internet’s fate and seems to act like they own the internet, simply because they have huge ass search engine & site crawler.

      Monopoliew and lobby group do it all the time. Make laws to help their company stay in the lead.

    Even without the web integrity api , the tests for amazon hiring process at least in india require you to run windows/mac and chrome, linux and firefox are not supported !

    source
    • mrvictory1@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      This usually means “you can use Firefox but don’t ask support” instead of “you are not allowed to browse this website”. If the latter applies, user agent switchers exist.

    • c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Some companies do that, it’s not some new thing. We have to manage your devices and it’s nice to standardize so we don’t have to each learn every possible OS a user wants to install.

  • coheedcollapse@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yep, moved from Edge to Firefox on all but my Windows Tablet. Only reason I’m holding out on the tablet is because the battery enhancements of Edge are too much to pass up on the device. Phone and PC though, straight to Firefox.

    Will Vivaldi still block ads, even though it’s on chromium?

    source
    • BubblyMango@lemmy.wtf ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If web drm becomes a thing, nothing, not even firefox and vivaldi will be able to block ads on websites that implement web drm.

      • KammicRelief@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Oh damn. Ok thanks!

        source
    • jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It think it should be able to, since it is blocking ads on the browser side. Not sure though…

      The problem, if I understand it, is when websites start only accepting certain browser ids.

      Which will effect all non chrom. browsers.

    To the fans of Firefox: It has almost as much telemetry and spying as Chrome. Rather use hardened Firefox or Librewolf.

    source
    • Scolding7300@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      But that’s only by default though, no? It’s not like it’s worse, it sounds to me like a slightly better option to go with the default than stay in Chrome

  • I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I've just recently switched because Chrome yet again stuffed up all my task bar shortcuts (whatsapp, keep, calenders etc) so they all just loaded as tabs.

    Firefox doesn't even have the ability to create task bar icons so for a long time I never bothered with it.

    Found this extension which mostly gives that functionality. Not perfect as I have to share the URL links to the main instance to view them in a separate tab, but it's ok. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

    Then tell me please, how do I block ads on iOS with Firefox?

    source
    • JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You’d be able to if Apple didn’t block other browsers using extensions, or any rendering software other than webkit on their phones. Your fault for using Appl€.

      source
      • theoware@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I get your point of view, but I didn’t want to buy from Apple either. Before the purchase I knew how locked down iOS is. But since Apple basically owns the education space, I had no other choice

      Adguard or DNSCloak with dnsforge.de

      source
      • theoware@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Thanks, I checked the Adguard site again and configured it properly using the profiles and not just the per WiFi IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Now I get 71% on an adblock test. DNSCloak however didn’t do anything really, in the test I used it made no difference to a not blocking DNS

      I don’t know, but Mozilla (the org that makes Firefox) also makes a VPN, and you can set it to apply to Firefox only.

    Yesterday, I got some pop up when I opened chrome about blah blah Google…ads…blah blah, and promptly downloaded Firefox.

    Yes it’s lame it wasn’t already on there, but it’s a shared / work computer and I try to keep new downloads to a minimum, but that was the last straw.
