minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clubOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 year ago everyone knows how to use Chrome Bro it’s a browser. They’re fairly identical to the end users it matters for.
minus-squareScrivenerX@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·1 year ago there is no real upside to picking Gecko apart from Google = bad. AdBlock works better on Firefox. Firefox takes fewer resources. Firefox is open source. And that’s just off the top of my head.

minus-squarevd1n@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-21 year agoYeah but I save 0.000097 seconds per page load. I did the math and it will give me approximately 2.3568 additional seconds to the length of my life. I did more math and that means I’ll have time for one more fap before I leave the world behind.

minus-squareIzzy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThat makes a lot of sense when you are looking at the two today, but Firefox is older than Chrome. So they managed to become more advanced and take all the browser marketshare in some way.
