Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Why wouldn't you just use something like Firefox? Why the actual fuck would you opt to continue using Chrome?
They might simply prefer it, or be in an environment where they have no choice (e.g. office, education).
I'm a stubborn Firefox user but I have to say, this feels a little aggressive and not at all likely to convince anyone to switch.
So you're saying they'd be allowed to sideload a discontinued chrome extension onto their work laptop but not allowed to download another legitimate browser? Yea....not buying it. Same with an educational setting. Pretty sure the person I reaponded to just simply is used to Chrome and doesn't want change (which I do understand.)
I stripped it from all google crap, extra features, etc. Then the features I want I added in using an extension I wrote and maintain myself
Why would you use a browser like firefox when you could use brave which has built in ad blocks which firefox has not
Because ublock origin is like 2 clicks and doesn't need a cryptobro chromium browser
I prefer to have a "cryptobro" chromium browser that not only supports five html and js features but is actually leading in html 5 support and not lacking 2 years behind
You realize that Brave is Chromium and the „built in Adblock” is renamed ublock origin?
Yes I know that but firefox is lacking features. An old chromium browser on mobile has the same amount of points in benchmarks as the newest firefox on desktop
