the obvious thing to do is keep using firefox as your daily driver, and load up the other browser as needed for the video etc.

I'm being tongue-in-cheek here because it seems most people just give up on safari/firefox if one thing doesn't work and go to some chromium-based browser as their default driver. That's sad.

I am not going to use two separate browsers purely so that a larger percentage of my time is spent in Firefox. That’s not a solution; the solution is to fix Firefox.

I would rather spend 100% of my time in Firefox but that’s not doable right now.

I don't understand it. I do keep an ungoogled chromium install around for the few times when I suspect a site is intentionally breaking itself for firefox, and it's not a big deal to open on occasion. Otherwise, if you value customization at all, you have to use firefox.

What you say is what I do, Firefox is open all the time, I switch to brave or edge if ff won't load something. I use adnauseam as adblocker.

I have never had chrome on windows 10 or 11; nor chromium.

For a year chase.com wouldn't allow me to login from Firefox. Dumb.

Thats what I do - that 1 page in 100, if at all, goes to chrome. But basically 100% of pages I ever use work fine.

They will have to pry with significant force firefox with ublock origin from my old dusty finger bones... fuck the rest for selling us all out.

Even if it won't move the needle a bit, I can look at myself in the mirror in this specific regard and be content that I didnt bow my head like bland masses did and didnt work towards massive enshittification of our global society from now on.

Because thats what its all about, nothing less. With our choices, we shape future for our kids and grandkids. Shame on you, all you rich faangs who are directly helping this. Godwin's law is never too far in such cases and history wont be kind to you, no reason to be
