When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn’t play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

    I try to do my part to resist the monoculture by using Firefox everywhere I can, from mobile to my work computers. It’s true that I do run into sites that just break because everybody uses Chrome. Well, I’m somebody who isn’t using it. I will be the change I want to see in the world, even if in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter.

      I love Firefox and have used it for years, but lately it’s development seems troubled. Features aren’t working like they used to, and increasingly they are throwing more bloat at the whole thing.

      I worry it’s not long for this world at this rate.

      Oh yeah, and if the desktop Firefox could just fucking sync my passwords to mobile, that would be great.

      Gort helped get my logins synced, it’s even working on iOS now, bless this place.

          I’d never heard of this so I had to look it up.

          Librewolf is an independent, community-led version of Firefox that focuses on privacy, security, and user freedom. It offers advanced privacy and security settings and patches that allow users to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting.

          God bless you for sharing this knowledge with me.

          Librewolf is great but the fact they make it so ridiculously difficult to make google the default search engine is soo dumb.

    • @henfredemars @csolisr I feel like most people complaining about Firefox “being slow” haven’t tried it in 5 years or run Chrome on a machine that has enough resources to run a million tabs in both browsers, simultaneously 😅 Firefox is a fantastic browser, with brilliant dev tools, separate spaces for social media accounts without sharing cookies etc. Everything works perfectly, aside from the occasional website that blocks browsers by user agent like it’s 2003
