urghhhhh but firefox just doesn't perform as well. i tried, i really did. i found a 15 year old (!!) bug affecting svg drawing performance that was fucking up a page i was working on, i'm not imagining it.
I'm not sure if it's the same one but i just found a similar bug with a five year old comment saying i guess we're not fixing it anytime soon... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483868
I do have it installed and check in occasionally but it feels like a downgrade when i try to use it as a daily driver.
is there any way to get a functional de-googled chromium build with settings sync across devices?
That seems like an extremely niche issue.
The sentiment feels on point however, that this users experience with Firefox has been poor and issues flagged have not resolved in an eternity. I've definitely felt similar exhaustion with other systems.
Exactly. Present me an alternative that isn't just better in principle, but as good or better in actual fact. I don't like that Google is up in my asshole, but you know what? their shit works and issues get addressed.
I'm gonna go ahead and assume that every person on here talking about this problem is an arch Linux user like me (btw) because if you're griping about chrome from a Windows OS that's some kind of hilarious hypocrisy.
