From yesterday, I have made Firefox Developer edition my primary browser replacing chrome.

So far it's doing a great job. Its feel fast as chrome.

Some google site like docs or spreadsheet is lagging sometimes.

I still click on chrome time to time without realizing.

Let's see how far I can do with this experience.

Check dark reader extension, it's life changing.

Switched to FF on all my devices few months ago. I'm still missing Tab-key search and developer tools choke on larger (eg. webpacked) files, but overall it's a decent experience and switching was smooth. Oh, and tab queue on Android is great.

Why Developer edition, though?

@gronostaj Developer edition has better developer tools compare to the standard version.

@irene https://mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/...

@irene The problem is I have not used the stable version for like for 3 years. So I don't know how much difference is there compared to the stable version.

And the developer edition is tailored for a web developer. So I don't think the normal user should use it.

@irene Basically it has some extra developer tools and is two major releases ahead of regular edition. https://superuser.com/a/842614

Google does it in purpose, slow down their shit on competitors browsers... Next step: ditch all google shit

I switch profiles from time to time. How does Firefox fare?

Fine! Now throw it out of the window and install Falkon. 😉

Me haven't fully abandoned chrome at work cuz kubernetes web console does not behave well in firefox, i take that as an intented "feature". Very sad

@agentQ about:profiles is your friend. firefox is good with multiple profiles.

I have multiple profiles for different purposes - 1 for the stable version, 1 for developer edition (firefox does that by default), 1 for testing the web development (or more debugging) stuff I do and then a whole bunch of profiles for different services on the internet; but those were before the Containers web-extension came along. So, those profiles are now obsoleted with the Containers web-extension.

PS : I'm a stable user by default. I use the developer edition for all my web development stuff.

@irene Because it ain't DirePox. 😈

Im finding myself agreeing with @dontbeevil. What has the world come to? 😋

In all seriousness, though, Google absolutely makes their products perform worse on other browsers. Shady and uncool.

So. Leave them behind.

in this days I just use chrome to setup my yubikey’s

Also, Firefox <3

Chrome is evil. Google purposely slows their doc editor sites on other systems and sabatoged YouTube so much that edge gave up and is now going to use a chromium core.

@Techno-Wizard google is the new ms, and chorme is the new ie ... I'm disappointed that ms switched edge to chromium, they should have take mozilla side

@dontbeevil or even used the Mozilla core

@Techno-Wizard yeah and that...instead of chromium

@irene Nope. QtWebengine, which uses some parts of chromium code. It is not a Chromium fork or anything like that.

That's why Falkon is a lot faster than Chrome/Chromium and Firefox.

It doesn't support/have a wide range of addOns, though...

@irene nope, webengine, not webkit. But be it as it may, everybody should just choose for themselves. 😉
