I have switched to Firefox. Because Chrome keeps removing features. Some time ago it removed the features that are essential to me: [ bugs.chromium.org] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=839566 Now, chrome will limit the ad filtering extension, and I am fortunate that I have migrated the main web browsing activity to Firefox.

"IE/Edge doesn't support it [firefox not mentioned], therefore we won't because we don't want features that set us apart from our traditionally brain-dead compeditor but will instead stoop to its level of shittiness" By that logic they should never have implemented APNG support, since only Mozilla and Apple had it for a long time after Opera went under Google's wing (Webkit had it, but Blink did not pick up that patch for years). Someone from M$ PR (or IE development) even replied to someone on twitter that they '[had] no plans to implement additional formats at this time' when asked about APNG. Also now Edge is following the Opera model, so that retroactively makes even less sense. This post has been edited by dragontamer8740: Jun 30 2019, 21:53

Since Firefox became as bad as shitty Chrome, I went back to using Pale Moon for good. It runs on older versions of FF and doesn't need to update itself as often because there's nothing wrong with it.

Yeah, my gecko version's from Firefox 52 or so. I think we're around 66 now.

I prefer Firefox over Chrome, for the features and look at the begining, and now for the privacy too.

Why not both? Tho I still prefer using Chrome. I only use Firefox as backup when Chrome messed up their update and make me unable to access some site for "security" reason

It feels both amazing and sad that out in the "real world", people don't seem to care much about privacy or being tracked by their devices. When all the products are by the same company, that makes it even easier to combine the data such as google android in a smartphone.
Most people can be correctly evaluated by where they regularly go, what they regularly do, what they don't do, who they do it with, what they buy, what they don't buy, how much and how frequently they buy, and even by how many times they visit their dentist, different locations in a hospital building, venereal disease clinic, etc. If their smartphone geolocation data showed that person A was in the company of Doctor John Doe's smartphone for approx 15 minutes, it can be inferred Person A is a patient. Since Dr Doe normally works with venereal disease patients, then it can be inferred person A has need of STD services. Person A now visits the Hilton Hotel for a few hours and this is cross-checked by the Person A's car (Toyota) which phones home its location all the time. Person A's geolocation is approximately the same as geolocation data for known Prostitute Taylor Swiftpony's phone for most of that time. Hooray for ponies. Everyone likes to ride a pony.

I use Edge dev, but just because I love integration and Edge works well with the rest of the OS.
Otherwise, I would recommend Opera. It has some nice features, including a native adblocker (specially useful since Chrome will nerf adblockers) and a VPN.

[ www.gnu.org] Icecat. Disable the addons they put in it (except "https everywhere") and then install Ublock origin and umatrix then configure their preferences.

That's because they can't evaluate correctly the non-direct damages that it causes. If people don't see they don't act. Computers are still considered as magic for most users. If you have fam consider proposing them to what this conference [ media.ccc.de] Corporate surveillance, digital tracking, big data & privacy most people begin to understand after this. Then go further by demonstrating it with the [ addons.mozilla.org] lightbeam addon on firefox or one of it's forks (if won't work on icecat because of it's security features). For yourself and people in this forum I recommend watching [ media.libreplanet.org] The surreptitious assault on privacy, security, and freedom by Mike Gerwitz.

Screw them both, I’m going back to netscape navigator
But all jokes aside, prefer to use chrome for general usage since I don’t have to re-login to google stuff (mainly YouTube) every bloody time I cleared my cookies.

I like Firefox for personal business.
Chrome for general use, when I don't care what anyone sees.
Brave is for porn.
DuckDuckGo, Stands Fair and HTTPS Everywhere are okay for adds.
