I’m so hurt by how Edge has turned out. I was ready for a tier-1 browser experience on Windows comparable to Safari on Mac. Microsoft has utterly wasted its leadership opportunity here, cramming in scammy garbage.

Firefox, god love it, is a rough and clunky browser by comparison. Sure you can make it what you want, but it’s an investment. As the only viable noncommercial cross-platform option though, what else are we gonna do

What’s so ‘rough and clunky’ about Firefox? To me it just works everywhere I have installed it!

Genuinely curious!

  • Yeah it works amazingly well. And offers some great features like offline translation and container tabs.

    I have absolutely no issues with it. Websites all show perfectly, if I ever have an issue it's down to my many adblocking plugins blocking a little too much.

  • You know, I shouldn’t malign it. It’s really not bad at all in and of itself. I just wish it was as well integrated and as polished as some of the others can be.

    • Do you have any examples of that? I really don’t get what’s unpolished about it. That may be because I’m a Linux user though!

  • I have F13 bound to open KeePassXC on Mac. It works in every application except Firefox. Firefox blocks it somehow. It’s the reason I don’t use it.
