Does Firefox break for people? I’ve used it solidly for years without a reinstall.

Same here, but I imagine there are vastly different usage pattens. Maybe Firefox doesn’t support some that well. I couldn’t use any other browser though.

I’ve used both the normal and nightly builds and have never had an issue beyond nightly just crashing and closing like twice years ago and I was still able to open it with all my tabs intact.

Idk how you use Firefox wrong but anon here is doing it. Got mine loaded with add-ons n shit never had an issue in years. Imagine actually using brave.

The problem is chromium dominance (edge and chrome mostly) as it makes other browsers vulnerable to the noncompetitive web standard changes that google likes.

Show me another browser that can fully pass the EFF’s and other privacy tests, and I will switch.

Never heard of that before so just tried it with Fennec (Firefox fork) and got this result:

Then downloaded Brave and got this result:

This is what I get on a degoogled Android 13 custom ROM. What OS/device are you using? Did you opt out of sending stats to Brave when you installed?

Librewolf + arkenfox user.js maximum security profile will pass EFF and about every other test you could think of. The real problem is that security comes with cost to convinence. Multi session cookies and site history suck for security but are really convinent tools for browsing the modern internet.

I like Librewolf a lot, and do use it sometimes on desktop, but they do not offer a mobile version, and there have been a few web pages I have found it was not compatible with.

I don’t know what they mean about firefox breaking, unless they are on the nightly stream. I don’t recommend being on nightlies if stability is important to you.

I have been using Nightly on Android and Windows for years now and even that doesn’t break. I probably had minor bugs from time to time but so few I don’t even remember any specifically. But I do agree with you of course. On my work laptop I also use stable, just in case.

Same, I’ve had it crash like twice years ago and didn’t even lose my tabs. Everything was fine.
