I advocate Firefox, but I must admit I personally am affected by regular crashes on Firefox desktop. Mostly when I enter a page I haven't visited before (randomly though).

I don't know if others are affected by this, and I still recommend Firefox regardless, but every crash leaves a sour taste in my mouth. As it is not widespread, it might just be my setup, but still.

That's not normal. You should go to the support pages and see if there is a fix. And it could be an addon causing the issue, not FF itself. I had that issue many years back.

I did check the about:crashes page and it showed me that it seems to be related to "speechd init" and the crash itself is being linked with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1794057

Having said that, I just disabled narrate, so maybe it goes away now.

If you have the time try the troubleshoot mode to help figure it out - add ons are often the cause

Thats really weird. I have never personally had the issue but it is more and fair enough to have issues with FF after that. I would recommend brave then, still chromium based but is actively doing things to make sure their adblock still works.

I dont have issues with FF in general which would cause me to stop using it, while it is frustrating, not using something chromium based still outweighs that heavily. Its kinda of a matter of principle to me. E: clarification
