It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

what os/hardware? I too never have an issue but im talking a pc. Is your experience with android?

I am talking about on desktop but actually the Android version of Firefox was such a laggy buggy mess I switched to Brave on mobile.

On my desktop I use Arch btw with a 7950X and a 6900 XT. Honestly after using it for over a year I kind of hate it. I am so fed up with how many small annoying problems it has. Someone else mentioned Thorium in this thread and I might give that a try.

If Firefox works great for you that's awesome but it is BY FAR the buggiest piece of software on my entire computer.

I have different hardware, but I am running arch with firefox daily. I have had maybe 2 freezes in the last two years. Other than that it works as I would expect. Are you keeping your system updated?
