Why do you use firefox? - Feddit UK

  • We should not let google take over the internet

  • It works just as well as chrome

  • It has proper vertical tab extensions, like tree style tabs

  • It doesn’t work well. I tried switching some days ago and the dns doesn’t work, it won’t let me visit 🏴‍☠️ websites. I immediately deinstalled it again. I keep using opera gx
    Do you really think that FireFox DNS is broken and you’re the only person who noticed?
    Idk seems like it. My ISP is censoring some websites and I can only visit them by using the DNS from cloudfare or Google. On Firefox this does not work, on Opera gx it does.
    When some thing doesn’t behave the way you expect it to, trying to understand it’s behavior will take you a lot further than just saying it doesn’t work.

    Bro there are only 3 options for dns in Firefox:

    No dns, use Firefox dns and custom dns.

    Neither Firefox dns nor custom dns work as intended.

    I am not going to reverse engineer the whole browser, if I can just use a working one.

    I don’t know about browsers DNS settings as I’ve never used them before (I didn’t even realoze that’s a thing).

    If your ISP’s DNS server is bad though, I suggest you modify the DNS settings in your network adapter. That way, every applocation will work better, not just one browser.

    The dns of my ISP is not bad, my ISP is censoring 🏴‍☠️ websites like bs.to or s.to

    I have to use the DNS from cloudfare or Google to be able to access the websites which does not work in Firefox. If I setup the dns settings in Firefox and then try to access the websites then Firefox just says that the dns service from Firefox could not be reached.

    Using the exact same settings in Opera GX does work, that’s why I will stick to Opera GX.
