    I’d largely like to agree. My main issue is as others have said, some websites don’t work on Firefox due to Chrome basically being the standard. It’s annoying. And I do think people should still switch and try their best to stop using Chrome. Because IF we could get to a point where Firefox has a larger audience than it already has, the problem may end up stopping due to developers having more of a need to make sure their stuff is cross compatible with other browsers.

      some websites don’t work on Firefox

      Are you sure? Is there a list of these websites? I’ve been primarily using FF for a decade and haven’t encountered any.

        Same. Usually it’s a case of “the site is broken on both”, or a hard refresh is needed, so switching browsers feels like it works

            I never had that issue, untill starting last week. Now Google Maps won’t work, for some reason.

            It worked for years before that, it’s a recent thing, in my case at least. Makes me wonder what’s going on.

      I’ve been using Firefox as my main browser for a long time. Sites that don’t work in FF are very rare. If it’s something I really need to access, I just use chrome/edge for that particular site. But as I said, it happens rarely, and there’s an easy way to work around it.

        I actually encountered the opposite. A site I’ve been using for roughly 7 years actually has massive issues on chrome that makes it unusable.

        On Firefox? No problem at all.

          Which site? Just curious. I’ve never encountered any issues whatsoever with either browser.

            Decades old Firefox user here.

            In the last week or two both Discord as well as Google Maps started not to work, they basically freeze up during/after they load, almost freezing up the whole browser as well (struggle to close the tabs they are on).

            The weird thing is they both always used to work great up to just very recently, and nothing else has changed on my desktop, except for the normal OS updates semi daily.

            (Speaking of the desktop version, on Fedora Linux.)
