Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you. You’re probably right, but I’d like to make a few points here and ask for your help in taking the web back before it’s too late. And if you don’t use Firefox, you’ve been using some version of Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave or Vivaldi) a few years ago this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but today it’s bad for the health and freedom of an web that respect privacy and is not controlled by capitalist corporations, the so-called Big Techs.
I use Firefox for 99% of my work and 100% of my private browsing. It is amazing to me that people I work with blindly go for Chrome because that is “the internet” in the saw way IE was “the internet” 20 years ago. I find it hard to get people to switch but I’ve had a couple of successes
Is there more to this post? Not seeing any points outside of an opening statement. Using Memmy right now, so I may be missing a big chunk of this post!
The article should link to https://pauloroger.dev/post/take-back-the-web/ – if it doesn’t, it might be an issue with the client.
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to link again!
Reading it in my browser and nope that seems to be all there is.
I see that the “Take Back the Web” text is linked to the link I mentioned on the UI at https://lemmy.world/post/1116208.
The only thing that I do not use Firefox for is when I download stuffs from mega.nz, as somehow using Firefox to do this always resulted in huge amount of RAM being consumed, so I have to use Vivaldi for this exact kind of task. Everything else, Firefox all the way.
I used to use Firefox until several years ago when it became super slow and full of memory leaks that caused me to close it and restart all the time.
Chrome is so much faster.
Is Firefox a viable alternative now? I used to love it but it became unusable.
Is Firefox a viable alternative now?
Why not try it and see?
It would take literal minutes. Who got that time?
