My favorite part of Firefox is Ublock Origin.
Which is unavailable on Chrome?...
Does it work flawlessly on Android, iOS, and desktop? I'm really asking, because I ditched Chrome when it was less shitty than it currently is...

Komi can communicate??
Komi gonna rip into your furry ass
Through text.
they're right tho
I'm never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don't really care.

Yeah. Use Firefox or kiss a free Internet goodbye.
I worry even Firefox is losing its principles on the matter.
Then use a firefox fork that's more in line with your beliefs. It's a pro of open source
chromium is open source too.
But Chrome, the actual application you download (as well as several forks), is closed source.
Agreed. I just wanted to point out that you can have open source with a chromium based browser
But that's not the real issue. The issue is that any Chromium-based browser -- open source or not -- helps Google maintain hegemony over web standards. Even if makers of other Chromium-based browsers try to maintain a fork of the rendering engine, they'll be perpetually playing catch-up removing user-hostile misfeatures because Google controls the upstream branch.
Google still has control over Chromium. Manifest v3 is a Chromium thing, not a Chrome thing. All forks of Chromium will get it and none of the browsers using Chromium as a base has moved to fork and maintain their own version of Chromium.
This means that Google effectively has a monopoly over all browsers that aren’t WebKit or Gecko based, which is a tiny portion of all browsers. Leading to Google deciding how people access the internet. It’s already worrying that Google is the internet for a lot of people, the fact that they can do more or less anything with Chromium means that they can do whatever they want with the web standard.
That should be a major concern for everyone. Chromium needs to be taken away from Google.

Firefox uses lots of RAM
And not very efficiently either, can't seem to handle 99+ tabs and starts getting unstable as you get closer to that number.
Chrome at least can handle 300-600 tabs across 30 windows (The most I've ever pushed it) without breaking a sweat
i run it at 500avg, it's perfectly fine
I am not sure what you can possibly expect of any program. That is absurd.
Well if Chrome "The RAM Eater" can handle it, then it's obviously not that absurd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think you have a tab problem.
I suggest you try out a 12 step program. Tabaholics Anonymous works.
Are you the guy that posted on the Microsoft forums about Edge crashing after 1600 open tabs?
Hell the fuck no, I only ever run a single tab in edge, the tab to download another browser
FUCK edge
That's one more tab than you need, tho.
(Hint: use an OS that comes with Firefox -- and a package manager, for that matter -- by default.)

Yep, I use Firefox for the idea, but let's stop kidding ourselves that it is in any way memory efficient or fast
Waterfox goated
My Firefox is sitting happy eating about 30GB of RAM right now...
So you have 64gb total?
Maybe just 32 GB?

I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.
Yep, I didn't buy that RAM to sit being unused.
It's specifically about the efficiency of the usage. If it's not used effectively, then it really is a waste.
And we all know how efficient the Web is nowadays...

Best thing about Firefox is stability somehow it works nearly all devices
So for some reason Firefox doesn't work most of the time on my parent's ISP. It simply doesn't find sites 80% of the time. I can take the same wifi adapter and move it to my place and it works fine. I've messed arounfld with different DNS and stuff, and I just can't get it to be reliable there.
It's super annoying.
Aww man that sucks but hey atleast you can try Firefox forks maybe they can work
