It saddens me that we're at this point.

You know, like many of the rest of you I fled to Chrome when Firefox started to become too slow, But eventually an ad on called adnausem emerged and Google Blocked that Extension, and so I fired Firefox back up to see if it had dealt with the Speed issues in my time away from it, and it had, and I felt Nostalgic for one thing, so I made it my primary browser again and my default one.

But I was pissed at Extension store censorship, which I deign to say Both do at this point, as I have to constantly Chase magnolia 1234 for his Bypass paywalls clean script to manually install.

But it was more that Google killed it for no other reason than Ad nauseam upset the Apple cart on their business, whereas Bypass Paywalls clean is something the whole publishing industry problem hates.

And honestly, The thing here went Deeper, Chrome nagged me like crazy about using Expert mode to install an extension from third party sources whereas Firefox doesn't.

So chrome was pissing me off, enough to give Firefox another spin, and it, essentially, impressed me, and passed with flying colors.

I like what Librewolf is doing, but, it is a pain point that there are fewer extensions that function for it. I have not given
Vivaldi a spin yet, so I've heard of it, yet no comment.

Opera had a pattern of having cool features like a progress bar, but then removing them in the next version. Hiss.

Anyway, I'm aware of Lynx.

But Firefox has become my primary over the last few years.

And it saddens me, as clearly some Web Developers are no longer testing to make certain their websites remain compatible with Firefox.

Firefox dying would be awful for the open web.

So I openly plea with Web Developers at this point to do the right thing and continue to test your websites for Compatibility with Gecko based browsers, such as Firefox.
I have been using Firefox since the 1990s.

And I have always found Chrome to be "How to use up 64GBs doing nothing."
