I'm doing my best to continue using Firefox, but it's becoming incredibly annoying, and I'm seriously at my wit's end and just about to give up on it permanently.

I've noticed during video calls it causes my computer to completely freeze up and require a reboot sometimes.

And on my phone, sometimes when I'm reading, it will just make my screen completely stop responding to me and I have to force reboot my phone in order to fix it.

I know that Gecko is the only other web engine option to fight Chromium's Blink, but I'm seriously just about fed up enough with Firefox to say fuck it.

Servo or ladybird may be the only real hope left.

Funny thing, I had switched off from firefox to zen for like.. 7 months and it was the best browsing experience, but then I accidentally broke a thing when messing around with the zen mods, and had to reinstall, and when I did it turns out I had an old version, and the new one was so shit I came back crawling to firefox

Anyhow :3.. im also kinda on a hunt for a browser that fits my needs that isn't chromium based, but nothing I found particularly had the stuff I'd want over firefox, so im just using it cause it's my "fine enough" fallback option
