It's so encouraging to hear so many pro Firefox opinions lately. Then I remember I'm logged into the pirate instance of a federated platform and anti-corporate sentiment is probably as high as it gets.

Sadly most younger people haven't even heard of Firefox.

Most young people are basically tech illiterate. Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones. But have zero idea how any of it works under the hood.

Ask them to transfer a file from a computer to a USB drive, most will not know how. They have no idea how a file system is structured or even that an app has to specifically made for different platforms.. e.g. Facebook app on Apple is completely different from Facebook on Android and the two will contain different bugs and different settings.

We are almost back to default browser = internet

You're absolutely right.

Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones.

I think that's mostly because most commercial apps have fantastic ui and ux.

Most younger people have heard of it. Using what came with their computer is just easier to them though.

I agree, most of the younger people use browsers that are bundled with the operating system.

  • Android = Chrome
  • Windows = Edge
  • Mac/iOS = Safari

It's my preferred mobile browser because you can install ublock origin and other privacy extensions which is pretty unique

Firefox on android is really slow. I tried using it, but now I use Vivaldi

Pros : really fast Cons : chromium based

Right? After years of feeling like the only pro-firefox person left on the planet, the pro Firefox sentiment lately is a breath of fresh air, to say the least.

Well, we are in the worst cyberpunk timeline so...

Young people seem to proudly go along with the biggest name, which is really sad. They think there’s merit in that, conforming means acceptance.

Meanwhile, anytime I encounter a young non-conformist doing something very contrarian, it gives me some hope for the future. Because 99% of society is open-armedly embracing dystopia because the one thing they hate more than anything is the burden of independent thought and self-determinism. To intelligent freethinking individuals, seeing it play out is a waking nightmare.

Sadly, at the end of the day I prefer edge because it ~~has cloud voices~~ is slightly faster
