  Eh, when Chrome first came out, Firefox was incredibly clunky and slow in comparison.

  At least it was for me, which was why I switched back then.

  Google’s YouTube shenanigans earlier this year got me back to Firefox though, and the more Google does crap like this the more I’m thinking my next phone may take me back to the Appleverse.

    Trust me, if you care about what’s happening to Google and YouTube right now, you won’t love what has been happening to Apple and it’s products for the last decade or so.

    Why not CustomROMs?

      Because I don’t even know what that is?

        To put it simply, a “custom ROM” in this context means a modified version of Android. Many of these versions are based on AOSP (Android Open-Source Project), which is still maintained by Google, but is in fact open-source and doesn’t include Google services. Therefore, there is a possibility to use Android phones (given you have one with unlockable bootloader) without any Google apps or account.

    Yea, i swapped to chrome when it was on the rise, and it was subsantially faster than firefox.

    These days i find firefox as fast, or faster.

      Yeah I honestly expected some growing pains with the switch but it was a lot smoother than I expected.
