I keep using Firefox, mainly because I don't want to support Chromium's (and thus Google's) monopoly on how the web is rendered, but I admit it's getting more and more difficult. Firefox just isn't as fast, and websites are supporting it less and less, meaning some things are getting increasingly broken

2024-01-08 10:58:48 +0000 UTCHonestly, I'm not surprised that Mozilla is losing marketshare. I've looked at FF and TB every time I load a new update of my distro (6 months or so), and I've not used FF or TB as a daily driver since the early 00's. These days I'm using Vivaldi (I know that you're not a huge fan) because for me it provides a very comfortable launch pad and organization hub for 90% of my daily activity. It is at least somewhat open-source and publishes a no data harvesting ethic. Anyway, it works for me way better than anything from Mozilla.

The Linux Experiment
2024-01-04 09:49:02 +0000 UTCI'm not too optimistic for Firefox's future sadly, even in the open source and privacy world, Chrome and chromium forks have a monopoly. Some example on top of my head: Graphene Os ships with a chromium fork out of the box and on flathub, Google chrome is the most downloaded browser, which is insane since it's not even an officially maintained package by Google.
