Like chrome does something different?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 111 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Yes, chrome is doing something different. It is even worse!

That's not the point they're trying to make I think. It's more of an attack on perfection. Like "the alternative is not perfect either so why not just stay with Chrome". It's not a very strong argument in general but it might be enough to keep people from switching.

the alternative is not perfect either so why not just stay

It does work for a lot of people. Seeing they need to change and adapt if they do change, and it seemingly seems to be as bad as what they're using now, why change and face headaches and hassle.

exactly, when confronted with cognitive dissonance people look for any shitty excuse to avoid changing their minds.

No but where are you going to go. The options are shrinking.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 15 hours ago

Fennec on mobile. LibreWolf on desktop.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 15 hours ago

Waterfox works great on Android.

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 13 hours ago

Iron fox is another option.

Zen browser is great on desktop

[–] T156@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Zen, at least from the few times that I've tried it, also has some major issues that I personally find to be deal-breakers. Like forgetting tabs in a window that has just been closed. If you accidentally close a window that you're working, without quitting the browser, you lose everything in it. As someone who is prone to doing that when closing a tab, it's not ideal.
