I love it so much!
Firefox has made it SO EASY to switch to Firefox from Chrome, that you dont even lose your OPEN TABS.
Have you got 34 open tabs lol? And you lost uBlock ad-blocker today? (You did, you lost your ad blocker, because Google)
You dont even lose open Tabs! (And you get to install uBlock)
Fancy that.

Firefox can automatically move bookmarks, passwords, history and other preferences from Chrome without deleting it or interfering with any of its settings.support.mozilla.org
So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.
Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.
Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.Kevin Okemwa (Windows Central)
But I see people moving from #Chrome to other browsers (opera, brave, ...) just because of the ad blockers, so yes, it works.
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chrome’s Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.Electronic Frontier Foundation
You need to stop using Chrome NOW. It’s not hyperbole: Google just rolled out a change to Chrome that tracks the sites you visit, builds a profile, and shares that with any page you visit that asks.
This is real. It’s not tech bro conspiracy shit.
Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.Ars Technica
If you’re switching to #Firefox, remember Firefox is not private by default. Consider the #LibreWolf fork, which is. Otherwise, go into your settings and adjust its tracking features (like having #Google as the default search engine), turn off telemetry, “experiments”, etc.
(Also, if you all switch and Google goes bankrupt, #Mozilla will go bankrupt too because they exist thanks to half a billion dollars a year from Google. So remember Google must survive for Mozilla to survive.)
Since I've seen a lot of chatter about people switching to #Firefox as Google ramps up the enshitification of #Chrome, let me tell you about a killer feature for people who (a) need multiple accounts on the same websites (eg. devs) or specifically (b) have to use multiple Google accounts.
Firefox has an official addon called Multi Account Containers that lets you trivially set up color coded tabs that have separate sets of cookies. Log into your dev account in one, and your test account in another. Log into your personal #gmail in one and have another tab next to it with your work Gmail. I'm actually not signed in to any Google accounts in most my tabs, I just have containers for the specific tasks I do on Google products.
It'll take you 30 seconds to set up.

Gibt es noch (komfortable) freie Browser

#Browser #Firefox #Chrome #Chromium #Internet
So Microsoft finally has guts to end support for Internet Explorer (on June 15, 2022).
Most people probably wonder who still uses IE. In fact a lot of corporate software still does. Even though almost all products now support mainstream browsers well you can still find occasional "IE only" admin interface or older version which is still in use. You can probably even find some "IE only" parts on some older websites.
All this happened because of unprecedented dominance #IE had on browser market many years ago. It was the most popular browser, all websites optimized for it, software relied on IE to work, there was a lot of IE specific scripting... Many other web browsers were in fact same IE, just wrapped in different skin and with extra bells. Then it started to fade away and left us (mainly tech support and admins) in the mess and countless computers vulnerable. It literally took almost decade to get rid of it after it became a failure.
This is exactly what happens with #Chrome now.
Now I found a problem, when I am in the network stream or on the profile of a contact (like a just added one), there is a menu on the left which can be opened by tapping on the three dots. The menu then in many cases is longer than what can be shown on the screen. The problem is I can not scroll down in #Chrome, so I can only see the upper part of the menu. It just won't scroll when I push the page up or down with one finger. (normal way to scroll)
Can someone check if the problem is present on their device, if so let me know what system and which browser you use.
Mine is #Android 10 with #Chrome and I am in the current develop version of Friendica, but the problem seems to be there in stable too.
