That’ll be easy considering I’ve been using Firefox for the better part of 2 decades

If you’re like me and can remember using netscape before that you should schedule a colonoscopy.

I started on Lynx and remember NCSA Mosaic being the big new thing. My colon has seen better days.

Take care of yourself out there, friend. Gotta keep the memories of the forgotten times alive.

Don’t worry I had my first colonoscopy before I turned a year old

It still seems to be the only browser on my phone that will reflow the text after I zoom a page. To whoever is about to tell me what I should have already known about that also does that, thank you!

Opera has had this functionality for 10+ years on their mobile browser, and I would argue that it has always been their best feature by far as it has always worked beautifully. I just don’t understand how no other browser has implemented this feature.

👌👌👌 Always liked text reflow after zoom very much! !!!
Like it was responsive before responsive was a thing. Behaviour only native to epub afaik.

AFAIK Opera has some kind of patent for this, so other browsers cannit implement it so easily.

I remember back in high school, this was the browser to have on your flash drive. So many built-in tools that were normally entire separate programs. It had an email client, BitTorrent, download manager, FTP client… all sorts of tools so you didn’t have to keep them all updated and portable separately.
It was a sad day when all of that started getting stripped out just to end up like every other Chromium copy on the market.
Been on Firefox ever since they took away my grid home screen.
Goodbye, my once good friend.🫡

I don’t trust anything but Firefox or Safari anymore. Every other browser vendor has an ulterior motive to steal your data or serve you ads.
- JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) English18•8 months ago
Why are you including Safari in this? It’s such a bad browser, doesn’t even allow you to hard reload or get debug info on iOS.

Sure it does, you just open the dev console on your computer.
The criteria for the original comment was not “which is the best browser” but rather “which browsers aren’t adware”. As Apple doesn’t monetise user data the way Google and Microsoft do, it belongs on the short list with Firefox. Is Firefox better? Yes.
- JackGreenEarth ( @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee ) English1•8 months ago
If my computer is an Apple Mac, sure. It isn’t, so I can’t inspect it. Unlike Firefox, where I can inspect it by connecting it to any computer with adb installed.

The decline of Opera has prompted von Tetzchner, after a monumental anger, to create Vivaldi, to continue with the original philosophy of ancient Opera. For lovers of the old Opera, the other alternative is the Otter Browser, which also tries to recreate it.

Oh goodie, another browser I can’t use.

I used it for a while but then one update it completely reset not only all my (many) open tabs, but also my history, so I couldn’t restore them. Not used it since…
