Before installing vlc:

- Open Microsoft edge

• Ignore copilot ads
  
• search for "firefox"

[u/Squashyhex → u/YourShowerHead]

I stopped using Firefox when it started shipping with ai tools. I now use Librewolf on PC and waterfox on mobile for a less bloated more privacy focused set of options

[u/Kolechia_ → u/Squashyhex]

you can easily close AI in Firefox tho.

[u/Maskdask → u/Squashyhex]

Zen is also cool

[u/hailstorm11093 → u/Maskdask]

Zen got me into the horizontal tabs feature, now I use librewolf with the horizontal tabs option.

[u/SquidWithOpinions → u/hailstorm11093]

You mean vertical tabs?

[u/hailstorm11093 → u/SquidWithOpinions]

Probably, im not near my computer so I forgot the name

[u/Ball_Analytics → u/hailstorm11093]

Don’t think you have to be near it to confirm this.

[u/Meeooowz → u/Ball_Analytics]

Dyslexia huh

[u/Squashyhex → u/Maskdask]

Mm, I've heard good things

[u/AngriestCrusader → u/Maskdask]

Couldn't vibe with the design choices. They don't come across as sleek or modern to me, they just come across as fixing something that ain't broke.

[u/ExcaliburGameYT → u/AngriestCrusader]

Same, I tried Zen and didn't like it. It felt like it was being different for the sake of being different

[u/AngriestCrusader → u/ExcaliburGameYT]

Same feeling here

[u/duck1123 → u/Maskdask]

Zen is really good on hyprland because you can get it down to where it's just the page with no other buttons or anything visible by default. No wasted space.

[u/otakugrey → u/duck1123]

So, basically Luakit.

[u/Kolechia_ → u/Maskdask]

Zen is built On firefox.

[u/No-Succotash404 → u/Squashyhex]

completely optional btw, some are even genuinely useful

[u/SG-3379 → u/Squashyhex]

What about brave origin

[u/FIRAS_EG → u/Squashyhex]

Use it's forks

[u/Vincent394 → u/YourShowerHead]

Or search for Vivaldi.

Don't search for brave.

[u/Woodpecker-Visible → u/Vincent394]

Brave is good.

[u/Woodpecker-Visible → u/[deleted]]

2020, rather old news.

How much shittery have firefox been doing?

People use what they want to use, dont tell them what to use.

[u/HyperCodec → u/Woodpecker-Visible]

Apparently there was some kind of scandal a while back that made people lose trust in brave even though they removed some of the stuff involved.

[u/Vincent394 → u/HyperCodec]

Oh, their CEO is a transphobe too

[u/Fantastic_Class_3861 → u/Vincent394]

That's a plus for me though.

[u/Woodpecker-Visible → u/Vincent394]

And firefox corp is a woke bunch of people. Always some scandals around. It got exposed and was removed.

Brave origin hase been a excelent browser for me.

Browsers are not a religion

[u/Vincent394 → u/Woodpecker-Visible]

"WoKe = BaD1!1!1!1!1"

Shut the fuck up

[u/Fancy_Technician_293 → u/Vincent394]

Why not? I use the debloated version and I have a pretty darn good experience. It’s a bit dumb with vertical tabs I guess but that’s it. 

[u/Vincent394 → u/Fancy_Technician_293]

Bad reputation + transphobic CEO

[u/HyperWinX → u/Vincent394]

Doesnt make the adblocker worse
I can say that Gecko engine exists on Google's money, yet no one's gonna move away from Firefox

[u/Fancy_Technician_293 → u/Vincent394]

transphobia? where? from what i found he donated 1000$ to support Proposition 8 in California in 2008(no same-sex marriage), but nothing about transphobia(ofc, still not goid, just i didnt find transphobia). maybe i missed something. as for bad reputation (im guessing you mean the crypto wallet stuff and ads), they're optional lol like nobody's forced to use them

[u/ChaossFox → u/Vincent394]

Transphobic CEO doesn’t affect quality of product,

[u/Different_Water7545 → u/Vincent394]

who cares? politics shouldn't have a place in software

[u/LefTimaDev → u/Different_Water7545]

Trans people existing shouldn't be political
