    Tech nerds will use firefox, probably with adblock addon

    Adblock isn’t a real issue because every browser has it. The real issue is all the other cool extensions available from Chromium-based browsers.

      Yeah…that’s why I switched from FF to Chrome a few years ago. I was tired of whatever extension it was that i needed or wanted at the time being only on Chrome. Of course, i’m back on FF now and it seems to be much better for what i need, so that’s good.

        If you’re ever aching for a chrome extension try out waterfox, it’s based on Firefox but also allows the use of some chrome extensions, the list of useable extensions used to be bigger, but it’s growing again thanks to the original dev getting the browser independent again and re-opening it’s development

      I use 27 addons on my desktop, in firefox. There are no extensions I would need but don’t exist for firefox. The only extension I had to replace with a Tampermonkey script was Vencord, because the devs removed the firefox version of it.

      And on my phone I use 12 addons. On chrome, or any other browser not based on FF, I could use exactly none.
