I don't mind this at all, but it's funny that I barely if ever get ads that would make me want to buy something. I don't even use an adblocker on my android phone and i use chrome on me laptop

Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

After using Firefox for nearly a year, I am using Google Chrome again and it feels much more snappier/fluid, and also uses less power compared to firefox (power draw is often near idle or outright idle), font rendering seems better on Chrome too. Only issue is that it doesn't support hw video decoding (vaapi) on wayland, but I just use MPV for that. Firefox does support vaapi even on Wayland but it's outrageously less efficient than mpv.
