wtryShould I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
simpleWhat better features? Firefox has pretty much everything nowadays, and is as fast as Chrome.
GeekFTWChromium browsers have only 1 feature I need: access to the Chromecast API. I have 3, Firefox can't connect to them and the last 2-3 times I tried the listed 3rd party methods (fx bridge, etc), I could never get it to work.
Were it not for that, I'd be back on Firefox.
OtterThat’s part of why I avoided getting new Chromecast devices 😄
I've had these ones from 3-10 years depending on the unit XD
well? what do you have? I would love to flush my chromecasts but they're so useful.
Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. Despite being Microsoft, it uses Miracast.
Isn’t Miracast an adhoc wifi network as opposed to simply connecting to an established WiFi network?
If you ever find one let me know because I’m in the exact same boat as you. Casting videos to my TV is so damn convenient
DaveI had a similar need, and it prevented me from moving to FireFox for a long while. Luckily, I did manage to get fx_cast to work, and it’s been flawless ever since. In fact, I’d say it work more reliably than Chrome’s casting!
redcalciumHave you tried setting
browser.casting.enabled = true in Firefox’s about:config settings?
TheGreenGolemTrust me, I’ve tried everything there is. For hours, literally. Nothing worked.
(Casting from Firefox (beta) on Android.)
That’s a bummer. Personally, I use an specifically made to cast web video on android because it has better casting experience (including subtitles support) and wider range of supported websites. The dev is also responsive and would push a fix if you report any site where it doesn’t work: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instant…
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely try it out.
Agreed, it’s an amazing app, well worth the price for premium version.
