I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox as soon as I was exposed to it in grade school. It wasn't until my highschool years that chrome launched (15 years ago, holy smokes!) and I switched to the shiny new thing. Chrome was so snappy and lightweight in those days, it was a clear winner. Stayed with chrome for the next decade and in that time it slowly morphed from a light-weight, snappy browser into the infamous RAM hog its known for now. In the meantime Firefox seemed to have to have upped their game with a smoother browser experience, and that along with their anti-tracker & privacy ethos made me switch back to Firefox within the past couple years.
I dont know why I'm getting a fuzzy feeling all of a sudden... am I weird for feeling nostalgic because of an internet browser?
Fucking based, OP. Chromium users blown tf out
True
Firefox is brilliant, but I like Librewolf more.
It's interesting you mention this. I was looking at this and GNU IceCat recently out of curiosity.
What do you like more about it?
- No Firefox telemetry and BS (Pocket, homepage feeds, etc.)
- More in active development
- Out-of-the-box privacy settings
Just look at https://privacytests.org
well the only choice is chromium or firefox
I love Firefox, but it's memory management leaves some to be desired lol
Agreed. It eats RAM like it’s nothing. I’m downgrading from 32GB to 16GB soon and I’m really worried.
