@erkhyan Next time suggest Librewolf to them. Not paid by google and no AI slop included.
As a bonus, uBlock is built in and other privacy goodies!
@ItsePerkele @erkhyan I use LibreWolf... uBlock is built-in???
(sure, I just migrated my Firefox profile that already had uBlock, so I might not noticed it)
@ItsePerkele I do not recommend LibreWolf to anyone unless they’ve already signaled to me that they’re a privacy hardliner.
And most average users aren’t privacy hardliners.
Why not?
Works fine for me, I haven't had a single problem in the two months I've used it.. I also installed it on my dad's laptop and he doesn't know much about computer stuffs and he hasn't had any problems with it.
I would totally recommend it to everyone, especially the people who are not privacy hardliners, they are the ones who need it the most lol.
But also, Waterfox is another one to recommend.
@ItsePerkele I wouldn’t do it because I’m going to get a dozen phone calls telling me that such or such website doesn’t work or display correctly, and it turns out the reason why is because of the browser’s privacy stance.
On my personal machine, I was absolutely turned off by the fact that things like timezones and dark mode need to be set manually for each and every website. That’s a level of privacy that feels to me like key-locking every door in my house and only opening them on a need-to-walk-through basis.
Hmm, did you try it long time ago? Maybe a update has fixed those issues. I haven't had any of those problems. Dark mode and time zones work fine, I didn't even know that was or used to be a issue.
Tbh, if I wasn't able to set dark mode on for everything, I'd have quit it as well, I can't stand bright things on my screen lol.
