I think it wanted to say “malware protection” but the lies got perfectly cut off
Best firefox ad
Complete with built-in malware
Full period.
They put three periods
It is an ellipses…
Firefox seems dead.
I need a chromium based browser for the amount of extensions available.
I use Brave.
This comment triggers me more than I care to admit
Everyone already knew that chromium is the majority of browsers so idk why you felt the need to post that
I’m just so fucking furious at how every company I work for ONLY supports Chrome (and by relationship, Edge). And as soon as I get issues using Firefox their response is “we don’t support Firefox”.
Like what the fuck???
Our company just installed a proxy system on our PCs that fucked everything up in Firefox and when I called IT for help, that was their response.
I’ve heard web developers say that a lot of that is due to Firefox’s annoying (to them) choices.
I happen to know HTML, CSS, & raw JS even though nothing at all from the last roughly decade, and I guarantee you that I can, and have, written webpages that work on any browser. More to the point, Firefox does not fully support HTML5 - and while tbf none of the browsers do(:-P), it does lag noticeably behind. Then again, it has made major pushes forward in terms of security… though seemingly at the cost of its basic functionality, to the point where if you want to use some even moderately complex coding framework, then you pretty much have to use Chrome.
So what I do is use Firefox for personal use, and Chrome at work. I then also use Chrome at home for personal use, unless I want to view a commercial site (where ads make every experience not only slower but practically unusable imho). Sadly, that’s the only option I have, if I want to be able to “view websites”.
In the past, Microsoft used to encourage features that would work only in their shitty-AF browser. But I got the sense that this is not what is happening now, b/c it’s simply HTML5 - did Google somehow have some “in” with whoever designed that, hoping to give themselves an edge?
Anyway, I use Firefox, but I wish it was better.:-( I’m always so frustrated with it that I keep telling myself I will replace it someday, perhaps with LibreWolf?
I work for an international corporation and we were told to stop using Chrome and use Edge only as it’s more secure. Firefox was out of the question and not even installed.
use Edge only as it’s more secure.
Just try to look at its default settings. It’s really the worst option maybe even more than Chrome itself.
Why are you people soooooooooo worried about viruses? I think the last virus I got was on WindowsXP.
Pretty sure viruses don’t exist. I’m using a windows 7 pc for 10 years, and the only virus protection is whatever they put on windows 7 by default, with no updates ever, and I STILL don’t get viruses. I’m at a point where it seems like virus makers just gave up.
You get that idea because no one actually browses the internet anymore. All people ever do is use fucking social Media and that’s about it. No one’s using Limewire to download porn/music, no one’s using warez websites anymore, there are trustworthy porn aggregators so no one needs to visit dubious websites anymore.
Viruses are still a thing, and as someone already mentioned, chrome and edge themselves are spyware. Phishing is the more prodominant modus operandi nowadays.
Lol. I have no idea how Microsoft convinces these companies that they’re the “secure” option. My workplace has banned any AI except copilot, because Microsoft told them copilot is secure.
Maybe Microsoft signed on a line promising security. Hopefully another line isn’t a forced arbitration clause.
Hard to argue with them not wanting to support a browser that only makes up 3.3% of browsers used worldwide. Actually, it’s probably not even their decision, but the decision of some higher ups that want to save development or software cost.
You might try convincing them by polling how many people in your company wants to use Firefox, though. There could be a significant enough proportion of you guys that do.
There is no fucking way Firefox is that unpopular, but actually yeah it’s trivial to argue that browser choice is hanging by a thread and it’s not a good thing
A lot of Linux Distros seem to have Firefox telemetry disabled by default (even the minimal, one-time ping, telling Mozilla to know there is another user), so that might be skewing some of the stats.
Super sad
Wish I could undo my days of recommending Chrome to IE users. Hey, it had Adblock [Plus] ‘n’ tabs ‘n’ stuff…
If we all didn’t recommend Chrome, we would still be using IE now, probably.
Am I the only person who’s been using Firefox for roughly 20 years? Fuck chrome, fuck internet explorer, fuck oprah, fuck edge, fuck netscape…actually netscape was kinda cool. I liked it.
But, this idea that it’s chrome or IE is baffling to me.
Nope, I’m with you 100% on the browser front
Also, fuck Oprah
