Don't need Chrome; I use Edge for when I need a chromium based browser.
Edge is also built on Chromium so it's basically a different Chrome skin. It does do a few things somewhat differently than Chrome. I'm not shilling for Edge as I just switched from Brave (another Chromium browser) to Firefox, and I keep edge "clean" in case I come across a website that doesn't want to work in Firefox or Chrome.
Just switched from Brave back to FF again myself. I want to use FF for everything but I can't. Mainly development. It keeps everything in cache even while in incognito. So when I make changes I don't see then even through fresh incognito sessions. Its very frustrating. Its been this way for forever. No issues with Chrome/Edge/Brave
I use Chrome to run the Transposer For Youtube plugin because I haven't found an equivalent for Firefox yet.
@teuast @StewartGilligan, use Vivaldi instead of Chrome.
It's got a pitch transposer? That's literally the only thing I need to leave Firefox for.
Why wouldn't you just use the store or winget to install Firefox?
Firefox for me, and then edge if I have issues with it. I used edge on its own for a while but I got tired of that homepage it keeps reverting back to for some reason
The one reason why I use Edge is for the great pdf editing and marking functions, especially in a university context.
But if there is any addon for firefox that rnables the same features as edge has, please lead me to it
I've not been fond of Chrome and Edge because of the spyware aspect, but Firefox lately has become so friggin' flakey since it's gone snap that it's almost unusable and now that there is a Linux version of Edge, it actually seems to operate quite smoothly.
There were a number of sites that FF choked on, so I just ended up using Edge. uBlock works with it, and that's about all I need for extensions.
Not sure how people decided that Google is more altruistic with data handling than Microsoft, but here we are, I guess.
This is the way
Using chrome rn ....to read Lemmy. Because it's ass on Firefox (android)
