Yeah, I can't remember the last time I had to do anything to "fix" Firefox.

My only issue with Firefox is some extensions get a little fussy in-between updates, but it seems to be a Linux issue more than a Firefox one.

And my problem is most definitely a skill issue.

I was running into a blue screen ONLY when using Firefox.

A month later, I decided to make sure one of my memory sticks was fully seated. Issue resolved.

Yeah, Firefox works fine for me, problem is a good number of websites on the modern web just actually do not work correctly on Firefox because theyre designed by lazy morons.

Sometimes this can be fixed by just spoofing it and presenting as chrome, other times not.

In Opera's defense, I have considered installing it for its game recommendation thingy alone and not actually using it as a browser, simply because modern online game stores basically recommend either massively marketed stuff or seemingly completely random 5 dollar trash, or stupid meme game that is extremely popular right now that is basically also trash and is forgotten about when Twitch moves on to the next thing.

In the past I remember Opera's game thingy actually being decent. Any current users that can attest to this?

I've been using Firefox since it was Mozilla Navigator and I can't say I've ever had "Piece of shit always broken" with it unless you count websites these days building with Chrome in mind, in which case I don't blame Mozilla.

I've been using it regularly since (I think) one of the 0.9 Betas that came on the CD bundled with a magazine I got from my local library.

Literally never had to deal with issues OP is dealing with

Brave, for crypto enthusiasts who like to talk about privacy and security but don't actually have those things or know what they are.

Does it still have advertisements?

That has to be a British insult. It's just too perfect.

Yeah I don't get what they mean by needing a refresher every few days or whatever. I've used it all my life and only crappy websites had me needing to switch to another browser.

Yup, and aside from Firefox for Android, I don't remember the last time I needed to "refresh" Firefox, and even on Android, I only need to do it like once/year.

It's really a non-issue.

I'm also like 90% sure that "we don't support it" is artificial, been meaning to test it.

My Firefox install at the office works fine with Teams but will refuse to load at home. I think it might be a version issue, but I'll try to establish parity to make sure it's not Microsoft being fucky thinking they can shaft anyone using Firefox/Linux outside of the office.

Yah I don't know what anon is doing to his PC when no one is looking but it can't be good. Firefox for at least 13 years here and never had an issue I didn't cause myself.

The intro-to-programming instructor at the school I work at loves it. But he also has a GME To The Moon sticker on his PC. Seems to be a beloved instructor

IDK, their ad blocker seems to work, so that puts it away ahead of the rest of the Chromium browsers.

But uBlock Origin on Firefox is even better, so I only use Brave to test apps in Chromium.

Could you fill me in as to why Brave is only advertiaed as secure? I understand the ads/crypto thing, but if you arent opted into that and just block the ads, is there anythimg else? I also understand its a Chromium browser, but that doesnt mean google has their hooks in it (necessarily).

I love that I can basically test for Safari on Linux using GNOME Web.

I think some people still use Konqueror.

Also used to be a big opera fan back in the day. But it just isn’t what it used to be…

The world's most advanced GAMING BROWSER!!
