I switched to Firefox/Librewolf (with a brief stint on Vivaldi) last year and haven't looked back.
I've used nothing but Firefox on all desktops/laptops since 2004. I really don't understand how or why anyone would switch away.
Because for the longest time Chrome smashed the stale arse Firefox out of the water in features and performance.
Personally I found Opera the best, but that’s Chinese shovelware now.
It really didn't... Firefox has been neck and neck performance wise the entire time with a massive arsenal of extensions (and to be fair some of those extensions did negatively impact performance enough to scare people off) and I can't think of a major feature Firefox didn't have first or get soon after.
Chrome largely just became a "speed meme" though among enthusiasts and had the backing from Google to win over IT teams.
I've never heard of Epiphany before. Anyone here have input?
It's called gnome web now and it's quite good. Still being improved. Extension support is coming.
I keep hearing the counter argument that "Safari already shipped a version of WEI and no one made a fuss" but I can't tell if that's true or just missing a lot of nuance. Can someone explain?
