I honestly don't understand why anyone uses chrome or chromium based browsers over Mozilla with privacy plug-ins.
Today at work someone posted in the it slack channel complaining that chrome has auto restarted three times got mandatory updates in the last day wondering if he could get it stopped because it was messing with his work. I’m just over here using the same Firefox instance for months at a time, and even when I have to restart my whole computer it perfectly pulls up my previous session, even distributing the windows across their previous monitors. I never really liked chrome, idk how it caught on so much with people. I’d legit rather use pre-chromium edge, at least it was fast.
I really feel like I‘m visiting two dimensions on lemmy. I really like firefox and I use it daily with no complaints whatsoever. But the amount of people saying „it has only gotten worse recently“ seems to be the same crowd for the last 3 years. Its always on its way down, it gets all his revenue from google bla bla bla. I know thats an issue, using chrome is not the answer.
