I came to say just this…
Why is the person downloading chrome in the first place. Firefox with ghostery and ublock origin is the way forward
Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome

Just use Firefox. Skip all this bullshit.

Ghostery is redundant with total cookie protection
EddieTee77@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is total cookie protection on Android? Is that the strict cookie setting?
eya@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
As far as I’m aware it’s available on Android. It’s built into Enhanced Tracking Protection.

Sadly Firefox on iPhone doesn’t translate. Synchronising bookmarks and history is too important to give up.
TheBat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
All browsers on iPhones are skins for Safari.
Blame Apple for that bullshit.

Blame Apple for that bullshit.
This one isn’t on Apple. There’s nothing stopping Firefox from having translate on iPhone. It’s on Chrome and Edge.
TheBat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Isn’t translation feature available as an addon? Afaik iPhone version of Firefox doesn’t have addons.

I don’t own an iPhone, but this seems like a totally fair criticism and I don’t see any replies refuting it, so what’s with all the downvotes? I swear to god this place is ridiculous sometimes, these people won’t be happy until you jump through every hoop imaginable to use the Lemmy approved software. Only positive feedback allowed!
sir_reginald@lemmy.world 1 year ago
because this is inherently Apple’s fault and not Mozilla’s.
Apple’s the one forcing every browser on iOS to be a reskinned version of Safari. And it’s perfectly understandable that Mozilla doesn’t want to waste time developing features for a Firefox-branded Safari.
Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
What’s your point? The dude gave a perfectly valid reason to not using Firefox, regardless of who’s fault it is.
But also, how on earth would building a functional browser for a phone that owns 55% of the US market share be a waste of time and resources?
JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I am also confused. I didn’t know phone browsers were a team sport, but here we are.

Firefox Sync doesn’t work on iPhone?
JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
No, Firefox on iPhone doesn’t translate. I don’t want to use Chrome on iPhone and Firefox on PC because they don’t sync between each other.
jaybone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What are these non human languages that it translates?
Kodemystic@lemmy.kodemystic.dev 1 year ago
Just use Linux and Firefox. Skip all this bullshit.

I use Firefox because I want you use a web browser whose main focus is browsing the web.
cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Great, because it comes bundled with an extension to show you news article you may be interested in, occasional ads for their other paid services and will regularly nudge you into donating money so that it can be used for many purpose beside improving the browser.
spacecadet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This is interesting, maybe I changed a settingn years ago but when I start fire fix it just takes me to an empty window until I type something in. Doesn’t try to sell me anything
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is my biggest gripe about Firefox. It keeps trying to recommend “Search with Amazon” instead of google search and a bunch of small little ads baked into the home landing page.
InternetUser2012@midwest.social 1 year ago
Does it send all your data to china, ms, or google?
cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Seeing that neither Edge nor Chrome does either of those outside of regular browser operations, which also happens with Firefox, I’m not sure how that’s relevant.
