    Same as the flavors of Ubuntu are superior to Ubuntu it’s self, the forks of Firefox are better than Firefox it self.

    chrome used to be good. Emphasis on the past tense.

    Firefox was always good. Chrome was very briefly better. Firefox has not suffered enshittification like chrome did.

      This. Firefox has always been just good. It wasn’t great or anything, it was just a good browser. Then chrome came around and it had more, better features. It was a bit more memory usage, but those were for the additional features Firefox didn’t have.

      Firefox didn’t really change a whole lot, it added synching features across accounts, and didn’t get worse. It just stayed the same.

      The people made Firefox better, because now they’re creating add-ons for Firefox, where chrome had more.

      I feel like once chrome got the majority of browser users, it immediately started going to shit. I have no proof of this, just a memory of it being better until it was announced that chrome was the most used browser, and the near immediate heavier memory usage.

    I love Firefox, but I can’t shake the feeling that it is slower on YouTube. My tinfoil hat theory is that Google somehow throttles YouTube on Firefox.

    FF is doing great. All the have to do now is the Steam strategy. Do nothing and wait for the competition to fuck themselves over.

      You mean hope that they too don’t become subject to enshittification? I don’t have a lot of faith in that.

      Besides that, Google is controlling as fuck. They might keep fucking themselves over but there’s no way they won’t start attempting to ruin things for the rest of us.
