Honestly, I've just about had enough (lemmy.zip)

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.

First of all, isn't that just a Firefox fork? I would think it would have the same problems. Although it may be better. For second, isn't it only on desktop? It wouldn't solve my phone problem.

Ah, yes, phone. I believe at their website, they have recommendations for phone.

It's not "just" a Firefox fork. They've completely broken with Firefox, afaik, over privacy and monetization. But you can still donate, if you have the means and are inclined. They're wholly deserving, imo.
