    It’s very sad as I don’t think there’s a proper alternative in short term. In the end, I am afraid that I’ll have to keep using Firefox because it’s essentially the “lesser evil”,

      FF was suppose to be alternative to google, until google “captured competition” by making up majority of thier revenue.

        It started as an alternative to Internet Explorer and was so much better it actually overtook it.

        I’m currently running Vivaldi and it’s been fine. YouTube is even smoother.

        So you switched to a Google controlled ecosystem. To no one’s surprise their own products, which intentionally run worse on competitive browsers, will work more smoothly once you use their backing software…

        Google has a long history of abusing their position of power to “punish” users of other browsers and ecosystems by violating web standards, don’t use Google’s browsers or their derivatives.

          This is true, however I’ve been cursed with using an iphone for a while and I had to find a decent alternative to firefox and ublock.

          Unfortunately Safari is horrendous, like anything software Apple makes really, but it’s the only browser allowed to have extensions and Vivaldi is the only real alternative to it that work, as Firefox is terrible on ios.

        When Firefox started recording key strokes

        Source? That’s news to me, and when I tried finding a source myself, all I found were extensions etc. to add that to the browser.
