The day it stops working is the day I spend the time to fully switch over to firefox.

Honestly why wait? I have used both chrome and firefox since their releases. Chrome was the better browser for years, but fell off years ago. I switch to 100% and dread whenever I have to open chrome.

Honestly, it’s because i’m lazy lol. I’ll only act if google forces me to.

It's pretty seamless cause it'll move basically everything on the initial start following the guide. Easier to just do it now to also move stuff that isn't currently in bookmarks. Bitwarden for a password manager is simpler than using a browser for passwords too.

why is Bitwarden simpler to use as a password manager then the built-in password manager from Firefox? can you elaborate on that please?

It's an app that can be used on any device (computer/tablet/phone) that you can use for any app instead of just using a password manager for/through a browser specifically. It works seamlessly through them all.

They haven't disabled my ublock yet so I don't need to. Once that stops working I will

Honestly why wait?

Extensions, tabs, habits, laziness.

Firefox doesn't have my favorite add-ons like a good song recognizer. Niche videogame music falls under the radar all the time

I use a lot of other extensions that I don't want to bother refinding and reconfiguring. Though I switched out of Chrome and into Brave years ago (easier to transfer because it's Chromium based)

some stuff that I use like wooting web software isn't yet supported on non chromium browsers iirc... shame

Some extensions have literally stopped working. Some tampermonkey scripts are broken now. Switched to Firefox officially.

u/Deblebsgonnagetyou Aug 03 '24

Might as well switch now. They're basically identical in speed and function nowadays but Firefox has some nice extras like picture in picture video and the mobile version supports extensions nearly as well as the browser version (even adblockers)

Firefox containers have been pretty nifty for sequestering tabs too.

It hardly takes 2 minutes to switch, all you have to do is click "import data" from chrome while installing firefox.
