I’ve been using FF (and Thunderbird) for about 5 years now on my dual core old laptop running Gentoo, and it’s always run pretty smooth. Especially when they switched to the Quantum web engine.

Of course. Everybody is having a great time on FF, that why this happens:

Yeah, surely Chrome/Google/$EandomEvilCorp are to blame, but Not Mozilla, the can’t do anything wrong, poor souls /s

I’m not arguing that people are switching to Firefox. I’m only saying that your argument about FF on Linux is just plain wrong.
I also prefer the UI/UX of FF over Chromium based browsers, but that’s very subjective of course.

Yeah, sure /s.
Fuck Mozilla, really.

If Mozilla were to disappear, Chromium web engine would have a true monopoly. Seeing how bad things are getting with their almost monopoly, I’d like to help avoid that.

I do understand this feeling. It’s how I felt when I first left Firefox for Chrome. I would check in every few years for about 10-15 years and see if I was still better off on Chrome, and I was. But then one time, it just wasn’t the case any more. I switched back to Firefox and now Chrome feels shitty, slow, and bloated to me.
