Best part of Lemmy is the lack of Brave bros (Inb4 downvotes, I know you’re still out there)
I use Brave and enjoy it. What’s the problem?
Us FF buddies got each other’s backs, don’t worry
I’d rather use firefox on desktop. On mobile I recently switched to bromite as default browser and firefox for everything else.
Edit: Looks like bromite is not active anymore. I am once again in search for a chromium browser.
Maybe check outCromite, a bromite fork that’s updated still.
I use mull for regular browsing, but anything important, and by default, I use Vanadium (grapheneos only). At least until firefox gets site isolation on mobile
This meme is so relatable. I got sick of Chrome and made the switch to Firefox this week, and haven’t looked back.
Firefox is so shit on mobile that it reloads every time I switch to other apps. I once tried to fill up a very long form, and when I tried to look up some information on my notepad app, I switched back to ff it reloaded and all my progress was erased.
It’s a bug that has existed for years, and they never bother to fix it.

So I switched to chrome + adblocking DNS on my phone and pc and I never looked back.
edit: Lemmy is becoming circlejerky like Reddit who would have thought. Facts downvoted have you guys even visited the link above it’s a widespread issue. My phone is 8gb sd855+ with battery optimization disabled for FF mobile app. This is why I rarely engage.
It happened to me when I still used and old Moto g7 play with only 200mb free of ram so the phone needed to kill it it in order to load the other app, making Firefox “refresh” itself.
But that’s the only time it happened to me.
Firefox is underrated. The only issue I have is sites that are only optimized for Chromium, and especially edge. A lot of businesses and medical websites only develop for and test for 1 browser, and it used to be Internet Explorer, but now it’s Edge.
Then there’s Microsoft Websites too. I don’t know if it’s like that anymore, but I always had to use Edge instead of Firefox to subscribe to or cancel Xbox Game Pass in the past.
Yup. Quick books and our government website both require chrome. It’s like… The stuff I do that I most care about not giving to Google, I have to give to Google. Drag.
You can try with chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. I find Vivaldi works on sites that don’t like Firefox. There’s also brave or duck duck go’s mobile browser.
Vivaldi is non-free so it’s a non-starter for me. “Privacy friendly” isn’t enough for me, I need the four freedoms.
