If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

@bladecoder and what about Waterfox? ;)

@nitrofurano Never tried that one and I'm not convinced it's better than a tweaked Firefox (also it seems to be based on an older version of Firefox)

@bladecoder so, which Firefox alternatives (based on Firefox and drm-free) would you recommend?

@nitrofurano @bladecoder Firefox DRM is opt in and you can permanently disable it

@pl @nitrofurano @bladecoder that on desktop, and on Android, if you have F-Droid, use Fennec (fork with a little amount of patches, fast-tracking to upstream)

@selfisekai @pl @nitrofurano @bladecoder Fennec F-Droid also has arbitrary extension support in a stable release! (Standard Android Firefox only allows extensions from a supported list by Mozilla in stable, and arbitrary extensions in Beta.)

You have to do a weird thing called a Custom Collection to make extensions available to it then, but it'll support 95% of Firefox extensions then. (Some will have UI weirdness on phone.)
