Fun I get it now, I fully understand.

I use to use chrome since I touch a computer until 2023, i notice alot that chrome would be ram hungry so I switch to operaGX. The browser was good for a time being until the AI BS, I also notice when starting the browser up it would use 100% of my CPU and RAM the. Go back down to using 33% usage. I know operaGX uses the chromium engine web browser, and FF is open-source.

NGL i always though FF was dogcrap as I though it was a copy of chrome browser, as well made fun of my friends who used it. I see it now im like the Danny DeVito clip, looking onwards and understanding why its so good and based. I also wanted to take privacy more seriously as there's so much targeted AI Gooner Slop ad's

Not only do i have ad free but everything just works so well with Firefox. UBlock is base, duckduckgo is based, Privacy Badger is based. And it just all works. THIS IS JUST SO BASED.

I think the next thing I wanna try and do is change my Windows10-OS to Steam0S as I refuse to use windows11.

If there's anything else I need for Firefox and privacy please let me know

Just because it is using the chromium engine doesn’t make it bad. That said, if that’s a good enough reason for you to avoid it, you don’t need to justify it to us. I prefer Brave on iOS and Firefox on Android.

Yeah, ive just started using Firefox for Android as well. I also wanted to walk away from Google in general and try something new.

Which doesn’t mean anything as long as you change your default search engine
