I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.
Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.
Any issue with websites breaking? Since sites only care about chromium support nowadays
valid question, idk why would people downvote it
broken websites on desktop are rare and not nearly enough to drive a browser change, but they usually fall into two categories:
-
websites that "break" on purpose for no good reason when they detect it's not chromium. Either avoid the site or change the user agent.
-
websites that degrade some functionalities because they rely on newer features or on how things appear on chromium. They're usually CSS breakages and do not affect browsing that much.
Support for manifest v2 greatly outweighs these potential issues imo.
Domino's pizza website is super flakey on Firefox (on mobile) but it will work if you refresh enough times
I've had a couple sites break but idk if that's because of Firefox or because of my privacy add ons.
Not op, but I've yet to encounter a website that doesn't work with Firefox. (In the last 5 years)
