I can't believe people still use Chrome, Firefox is better by a mile.

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Idk, I've used both browsers and I prefer Chrome in terms of features and UI. But it's not worth the privacy you get with Firefox

[–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Which features? Chrome is barebones imo while others like Edge and Opera are the "glorified" browsers with many features.

[–] Zaphod@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To add to the other person said: Tab Groups. Firefox doesn't have anything like it

[–] persolb@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Was just about to say this. I finally switched today because Chrome tried to sign me up automatically for a bunch of ‘privacy enhancements’ which do the opposite.

The only thing I’m having trouble finding a good version of is tab groups.

I want tab groups that I can collapse and expand at will. Not one that hides my tabs, and which I can’t see two tab groups concurrently.

Firefox sorta does! If you only use tab groups (or profiles for that matter) to separate school tabs from work and personal tabs, I recommend giving the Multi-Account Containers extension a look.

PWA. Last time I seriously tried Firefox it's support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) was non existent. When their issue tracker told me they have no plans for implementing it, I shed a single tear and then moved back to chromium.

[–] bobbo@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I’ve used this extension successfully on Win10 to install PWAs, most recently Elk for Mastodon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

[–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That makes sense, I completely forgot PWA.

[–] PigsInClover@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I primarily use Firefox, but the big one for me and the reason I haven't completely deleted Chrome is being able to create shortcuts with the "Open in a new window" option for specific URLs. Granted I'm not very tech savvy (just a little more aware than the average user) and primarily use a mac for my personal computer atm, but that feature is a game changer for me. As far as I know, other popular browsers don't offer it currently.

It's really useful for when there isn't a download or iOS app for a specific site/service, or when the web app is much better than the app or download option and I still want to be able to use it like a separate app from my browser.

I also wasn't able to download any software that wasn't on the Apple App Store with my work computer for my previous employer (super annoying, but I kind of get it). So it was essential if I wanted to have a separate and dedicated app/window at all for my work calendar, email, etc.

I love how I can visually organize the web apps I like to use separately from my browser, to save time and energy for daily use. I can customize the name and shortcut icon, pin them to my dock, organize them in folders in my launchpad, and even set them to launch on startup if I want. Not sure if there are reasonably easy ways to mimic this with Firefox, but I haven't found any yet.

same problem we had back in the ie5/6 days: it was just there and most people don't care. i physically cringe when i watch co-workers using chrome with not even a basic adblocker installed, klicking away ads, promts, pop-ups, videos and whatnot just to access a news article. it's horrible!

[–] amnesiacrobat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m forced to use either Chrome or Edge for my work computer and it drives me crazy.

[–] tool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m forced to use either Chrome or Edge for my work computer and it drives me crazy.

I've been a Sysadmin for a ~decade. I can state with 100% certainty that the reason behind that decision is that you can very easily configure Group Policy to control the behavior and visibility/availability of features in Chrome and Edge. Firefox didn't have that until just a couple of years ago, and it wasn't great when it first became available. And to be honest, it's still not fully baked, but it's at least usable now from an administrative perspective.

Maybe bring it up to your IT department and include this link in the email/ticket.

[–] amnesiacrobat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the link. I’m saving that to pass on.

[–] danielton@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

People switched because "it's the fastest" but that hasn't been my experience with it at all. Sure, it LOOKS more minimalistic than Firefox, but it's a RAM and CPU hog that litters my computer with Google trash.

People still download it because "it's the fastest"

[–] Potato_in_my_anus@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I've been using Firefox exclusively for ages. And also Duckduckgo, I just can't stand the excessive of Google's captcha since I always use VPN.

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

IDK man, Chrome UI is kinda plain

[–] ObservantOcelot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I’d use it exclusively, but there’s no Ad Blocker for it on iOS, and I don’t want to run an ad blocking VPN all the time. I also don’t like how there’s no official PWA support on desktop.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chrome doesn't support extensions at all on iOS, only Safari does - because of Apple. Firefox would absolutely support extensions and use Gecko on Ios if Apple let them.

[–] ObservantOcelot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but there are ways other browsers have determined how to have in-built ad blocking. I’m not sure of the ins and outs, but Brave, Samsung Browser, and Edge all have built-in ad blocking on iOS.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The heck? UBlock works on Mac- ohhh is this an M1/M2 thing I was unaware of?

Nevermind, you said IOS not MacOS

[–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

But there is strict tracking protection which acts like a slightly degraded ad blocker. It has blocked everything except YouTube ads and "you have ad blocker enabled" pop ups for me.
