Wish they had built off Firefox.

Does anyone build off Gecko/Firefox these days? Even Brave, the browser run by their old CTO/CEO, switched away to Chromium several years ago.

I really like Floorp, its devs and website are japanese but it supports english and is trying to be more than just another “hardened-privacy firefox fork” with it’s features

Honestly, it’s hard to do that. Chrome’s dominance means much of the internet has been designed for chrome. If you don’t support the same features, people will complain that your browser is broken or sucks.

Myself, I used Firefox for the longest time before I eventually just got too annoyed with the umpteenth site not working correctly and switched to Chrome.

It’s been ages since I ran into a site issue, using both desktop and mobile Firefox. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but seems that issues are very few and far between these days.

I had use FF for years until a couple months ago. I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled. More often than not, isn’t chromium chosen because of performance and the project gets a lot of contributions?

I have been using Brave browser with the crypto stuff disabled.

The mere fact that you have to “disable the crypto stuff” tells me all I nee to know about Brave Browser, and it’s enough to ensure I’ll never install it.

Well, it’s only the “Brave rewards” icon in the toolbar that you have to disable. Otherwise it feels like any other browser.

I only use Brave for my school work and to watch netflix, everything else I do on FF. If you feel like FF is slow compared to chromuim based browsers, you should try and optimize/harden FF and see the differences for you.

Personally FF is alot lighter and faster for me than Brave for searching the web and Is what I choose to use in the background when I play games because of how light it is compared to brave.

Also since your using Brave you should turn on “Upgrade connections to HTTPS” to Strict! Just a recommendation!

Have a nice day!~
