True, but the other argument is just try adblock lite, it works fine.. It isn't as powerful but I would rather have a fully functional daily browser than one with lesser video playback and conferencing functions.

Ad block lite does a good enough job without me changing to be honest, again the point being is that there are more problems with me using Firefox as a primary browser than ad blocking benefits.

I guess, but the comment is a direct assertion against Firefox growing from this change. You sort of prove my point by suggestion another sub variant of the chrome ecosystem.

The lack of HVEC/h.265 support is kind of a deal breaker in firefox (windows nightly builds don't count as done). I need it to view h.265 security cameras and the occasional movie streamed via browser.

Edit: For those suggesting multiple browsers I could just use Edge if I wanted to.. still better compatibility as it is essentially chromium.

I have a list of other things that don’t work reliably in Firefox such as various video conferencing tools so no, I am not going to switch to Firefox as my primary browser again anytime soon.

I was a Firefox user for many years but there are too many daily things I use now that prevent me from using it as a primary browser for work and causal use.

It is unique and I have MFA enabled so it hasn’t changed in a very long time. As per current security best practices.

Fun fact, parties running for election both get access to voter phone lists and are exempt from the do not call list.

They do however have to confirm to telemarketer / scam legislation. So you can reply with please remove me from your list and if they contact you again you can get is escalated.

View-> Then the little v arrow in the right. Switch to tabs only, the Ribbon UI will now only appear when you click one of the titles like home or View.

Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.

Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.

The ones I need, otherwise I always prefer core HA elements if possible.

With recently UI improvements in HA I have actually removed several HACS

I think it has been probably more than 5 years since I have seen an optical drive on a new laptop.
