I'll keep using the browsers that serves me the best, and it's not FF. Thank you for your concern.
How does chrome serve you best? Just curious at this point.
I'm curious to know where "Chrome" was mentioned in my comment, instead.
Well if it's not FF, it's Chromium-based. So the point stands...
Faster, better UI, not managed by Mozilla (which I have come to dislike a lot), with a decent mobile client (unlike FF) and so son... By the way, I don't have to explain why I prefer a browser which is not FF (anymore... I've been on FF for about 20 years before leaving it around 2021, fed up with Mozilla and their nonsense development model). Mozillians should realize that people have different preference and make different choices. Tell Mozilla to improve their browser, instead of crying "chromium domination!" all the time. Exclusively Mozilla is to blame for each and every lost FF user.
What do you feel Mozilla has done wrong? I list my own thoughts about what it's done wrong here: https://lemmy.world/comment/1377476
What do you think needs to be improved to make it a browser worthy of your use? What's wrong with the development model and what needs to be done to correct the ship? Basically if you were to fork Firefox/Gecko or Servo and build a competing browser around it, what sort of development model would you set up?
My understanding is that Firefox is as fast as chrome. But the last time I really checked was when Rust Quantum update rolled out and Firefox was killing chrome in loading up ESPN. I figured Chrome had caught up since then, but I have to rely on this: https://www.androidauthority.com/firefox-vs-chrome-which-web-browser-reigns-supreme-3294340/
I know you you said you don't have to explain stuff, but I imagine, we're on a subLemmy? that fosters discussion and learning and sharing. And it could be useful information for folks who come after us as well as folks who are curious like me who are following along right now.
