It's Firefox. Use Chromium if you prefer Chrome.

>>53745255
Does anyone here actually use either of the Comodo browsers? I've never heard of them and I'm wondering how they are.
>>
Doesn't FIrefox still have that crippling crash problem? Where one tab on Chrome crashes, but a crash causes all of Firefox to go?

I dislike how Mozilla is receiving money from Google. Ghostery of all companies, did the ultimate fuck you with Google, their mobile browser is a Chrome fork that blocks almost everything.

why would I care how much money Opera makes?

>>53745369
You shouldn't... The browser you use is ultimately up to you to decide... Sure, there are upsides and downsides to each browser, but if Opera is the one you feel most comfortable with, you should use it regardless of what some random guy on the internet thinks the company is like
>>
>>53745360
yeah, the whole browser will still crap out. I dunno if it happens with nightly, I haven't had any crashes in a long time.

I had been using firefox since it was called firebird but recently (like a year ago) had to switch to chrome because I started using windows again and the flash with firefox kept crashing for unknown reasons.

If I switch to a non-botnet version of chrome like iridium can I just import all my chrome settings and stuff or do I have to set it up like a fully new browser?

The web is shit now and everything looks like ass so it doesn't matter.

Yes. It looks worse than plain html and tables.

Why? Because that fucking worked.

>hey should text break at the window edge or at a totally random set width, usually too wide to be comfortably read?

We all know the answer to that heap of steaming shit.

Fuck the internet it ruined my life.

I feel the same way. I just can't find a viable alternative that has all my extensions.

Chrome at supporting everything
Safari at smooth scrolling

Everything else at sucking

Yeah, I know. It sucks: I had some hope in the forks but they're even worse than what FF has become.
>>
>>53754192
Even if both datamine Firefox is still better than Chrome
>>
>>53745199
I don't agree. Firefox is at the same level of Chrome/Chromium IMHO.
>>
>>53752967
Yeah, that's why a lot of use switched to Palemoon. Half the add-ons I used with Firefox don't work with it anymore, and the Devs stopped supporting them because of Mozilla's bullshit. They still work perfectly on PM.
>>
As a web dev, Chrome. Rest is IE tier of features support, Firefox is literally worse than IE10.

Iridium uses a very old version of Chromium and updates way too rarely.
