Because Edge broke JSON files - I couldn't search through an open JSON file anymore, because Edge decided to only partially load the file.

That's nice and all, but stop fucking with my plain text. If I want to fuck with it, I can use my extensions, WHICH THEY DISABLED/BLOCKED...

So yeah, back to Firefox, and it's been fine.

people on the internet told me to

I'm happy with Brave for the most part but an update with Webview or something broke all browsers using it on my Android Dash unit so I was actually forced to switch to Firefox simply because it works. Now I'm considering switching over on all my devices.

Question for those who use unlock origin on Firefox, does the browser hang when loading pages when you first turn it on, Iโ€™m having that problem.

I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it's been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn't tell what any button was.

With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven't had the time and patience to do it.

Pornhub loads videos slightly quicker (not from personal experience)? I dunno

Writing Firefox extensions sucked.

I haven't tried web extensions.

My device doesn't have Firefox and doesn't have the option.
