Because Edge broke JSON files - I couldn't search through an open JSON file anymore, because Edge decided to only partially load the file.
That's nice and all, but stop fucking with my plain text. If I want to fuck with it, I can use my extensions, WHICH THEY DISABLED/BLOCKED...

people on the internet told me to
Because old habits die hard.
It has good add-ons be I give enough of my data to Google.
I'm happy with Brave for the most part but an update with Webview or something broke all browsers using it on my Android Dash unit so I was actually forced to switch to Firefox simply because it works. Now I'm considering switching over on all my devices.
So is there like a Firefox equivalent to ChromeOS? Wikipedia mentions a few discontinued projects by companies but that's it. I still like the concept of a really minimal device that outsources storage and heavy computation (probably to a server I also own).
For the price of mild inconvenience in some cases I get to add a tiny little bit of resistance against chromium monopolistic rule.

I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it's been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn't tell what any button was.
With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven't had the time and patience to do it.
When it first came it out it was slow slow slow. They've fixed that. Admittedly their search engine returns "sparse" results compared to google, but their security and commitment to privacy is worth the dearth of 'hits' to my more esoteric searches.
Question for those who use unlock origin on Firefox, does the browser hang when loading pages when you first turn it on, Iโm having that problem.
