Good luck. I switched to Firefox months ago and couldn’t be happier.

I switched a few weeks ago, I have not been able to test it on a PC, but the Android app definitely feels slower than Chrome, Cromite and Vivaldi.

Enable Ublock origin. It'll be faster when it doesn't need to load ads.

It is enabled, I think the performance hit would come from Dark Reader... but it is a must have extension for me (the reason I dropped Chrome actually, since they ditched the ability to darken websites in recent chrome versions).

Switched? I've been using it since pre-1.0

I have chrome, but that's because my company's product uses it for our clients plugin. Only use it for work stuff.

Brave and Arc for me! F chrome ;)

[–] PlexSheep@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago

Idk arc but brave is just a downstream of chromium with a little less Bs. We all know the discussion.

Brave is chrome with a fresh coat of paint
