switched to Firefox after an acid trip

I finally understand what Stallman was talking about. Users of nonfree software are slaves.

• Even Chromium phones home to Google
• Alternative Chromium forks like Brave, Iridium, or ungoogled-chromium all have unique fingerprints as non-mainstream browsers. This defeats the purpose of using them. Also you aren't auditing the binary builds of these, which are done by anonymous randoms in their free time.
• You de facto can't compile your own Chromium or maintain your own fork. Besides the cognitive time investment, it would take days to compile, discouraging you from rebasing and re-compiling to apply the latest security updates.
• Mozilla allows you to run a self-hosted sync server, if you really need bookmark/settings syncing.
• Chromium having a faster JavaScript engine is largely irrelevant since a properly paranoid user would block most JavaScript.
• I'd gladly pay for better hardware to run inefficient Firefox if it means being less vulnerable to surveillance.

Change my mind.

Also I think nowadays that your choice of browser is more important than your choice of operating system. A Google Chrome user on Tails is less free than a Firefox (hardened config) user on macOS or Windows.

waterfox and pale moon are better.

I don't see why you can't just stick with telnet to port 80.

I've been using firefox since day 1 and in lots of ways it is much worse now than then, especially after this incredibly worthless """quantum""" update. What really says it all is that Firefox disabled the ability to turn off html autoplay on sites. You can go to about config and turn the option off but it has no affect. Addons have been released to solve this, but Firefox breaks these addons at next update whenever possible. This is clearly because Firefox is being paid by media companies to force autoplay video. And Firefox isn't just receiving money from media companies, Google, a major advertising company, and George Soros, a known Jew, are both currently investing heavily into Firefox for undisclosed reasons.

I urge you to come out of your drugged up haze and realize that Firefox is a failed, corrupt project. Did you know they canned the lead developer, literal inventor of Firefox, because he donated to a Christian charity? What kind of assholes get rid of their numero uno just because he is a Christian? That's right, SJWs. That's why I recommend noobs like yourself to not be fooled, Firefox is hot garbage since years ago and Brave, created by the aforementioned canned Christian, is the only option.

Not for those of us without a retarded purpose, surely.

I switched to FF on impulse when chrome froze for 1 minute. I spent 2 months migrating, relearning new features, and patching the functionality with plugins, and now I'm in a shitty spot where I've invested so much effort into a product that gives me 98% of the functionality for no reason but I'm too lazy to move back.

This is silly.
You can monitor the traffic which chrome makes with fiddler or wireshark.
You can audit the source code and be the hero which finally strikes a blow against evil google.

Firefox is inferior and made by crooks.
Not standing with Eich is dishonorable and the people at mozilla are mentally ill, deluded fanatics.
It's also a meaningless waste of man-hours.
Thousands of hours of skilled developer time get wasted every day, like there aren't any other pressing problems.

Why would you invest so much time in configuring a browser?
The defaults are very good. And they're on every machine you'll use.
A blocker ought to be enough for anyone.

>>10
Firefox spies on you by default

>>11
OK, fine.
What do you use then?
Seems strange that if they were spying on you they would allow plugins which stop it.
Wouldn't blocking their spy-servers be a better approach?

What exactly were you doing with your Chrome setup that made it so much simpler than Firefox? Firefox has trashed their extension ecosystem now, but Chrome's was shit prior to that and hasn't really improved.

I stick with Firefox because even Quantum still uses less memory than Chrome. I'm even more likely to stick with it now that Microsoft has killed Trident. Fuck Google.

Safari has no way to disable this """"''''feature''''''''''''. Does Firefox?

browser.send_pings -in- about:config

Do does firefox actually. Though, firefox at least lets you disable it via about:config.

Works for me on the latest version.

Firefox is inferior

To C*dder's browser? Maybe. To Chromium though, no, after all Chromium does not let me have 1k tabs open at the same time, nor does it support lazy tab loading.

It uses way more. Firefox is worse than Chromium on every technical benchmark. The only benefit of Firefox is not being pozzed while you're browsing the internet with the least amount of effort.

chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding

>>17
automatic tab discarding is not comparable to lazy tab loading.

>>18
Isn't it.....?

It enables lazyloading in the end.

lazily load my anus

lazily check my dubs

>2 months to switch from Chrome to Firefox

Ah, so this is the kind of person who comes out of the public school system these days.
