Imagine using Chrome in 2024.

I have found a lot of websites over the last few months acting up if I'm using Firefox.

I have chrome for work and if I switch they work flawlessly. It's small things like menus not expanding or elements not loading.

There's a push on unifying browsers.

I've been Firefox and duckduckgo for years and it's getting a bit annoying. Obviously the trade off is worth it I do not want the big tech products but finding good alternatives is getting hard.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Everyone says “problems with websites in Firefox!”

Nobody has examples

Oh, and I can't seem to get tiktok videos to play on Firefox on Android? Not a major issue, but my sister keeps sending them to me in particular for some reason, so...

I’ve always had TikTok blocked so I maybe o idea about that

Also a privacy browser not allowing the least private thing ever? Colour me shocked

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I mean, yeah. I'm none too bothered by that one, but it's still an example.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yup I've noticed that too. I don't have tiktok personally but I get links from friends and sometimes I have to open them in the duckduckgo browser (chromium based)
