This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

FireFox and all of the forks breaks within 2 months

Sounds like a skill issue to me, guy

Yeah, I can't remember the last time I had to do anything to "fix" Firefox.

I was running into a blue screen ONLY when using Firefox.

A month later, I decided to make sure one of my memory sticks was fully seated. Issue resolved.

My only issue with Firefox is some extensions get a little fussy in-between updates, but it seems to be a Linux issue more than a Firefox one.

And my problem is most definitely a skill issue.

It’s also objectively less secure than Chromium, which is hard to admit.

The big one is task (thread) isolation. Let me dig up some sources and get back to you,

I forgor. This is the post I was referring to. It’s well-researched and quite fascinating, actually.

Yeah, Firefox works fine for me, problem is a good number of websites on the modern web just actually do not work correctly on Firefox because theyre designed by lazy morons.

Sometimes this can be fixed by just spoofing it and presenting as chrome, other times not.

In Opera's defense, I have considered installing it for its game recommendation thingy alone and not actually using it as a browser, simply because modern online game stores basically recommend either massively marketed stuff or seemingly completely random 5 dollar trash, or stupid meme game that is extremely popular right now that is basically also trash and is forgotten about when Twitch moves on to the next thing.

In the past I remember Opera's game thingy actually being decent. Any current users that can attest to this?

I have been using firefox for close to ten years and somehow I never encountered a website that didn't work at all.

Apple Business Manager and JAMF both will refuse to work in Firefox for me. GoDaddy frequently complains too.
