Can someone remind me why we stopped using Firefox a while back? There was some piece of news that broke everyone's trust, but I can't remember what Mozilla did. Was it a change in their user agreement?

It was too noisy. My wife and I used to live in a small apartment. I'd leave my Linux box on all the time. Running Firefox, it'd periodically spin up the fan, which was loud enough to annoy my wife at night, and me during the day. Chrome didn't spin up the fan. I switched and we stopped hearing my noisy computer.

This was a while ago. I can't remember if it was Firefox or Mozilla at that point.

I stopped using it and went to chrome bc my adblock stopped working and i waited for a fix but it didn't come. It worked fine on chrome.

I went back to firefox bc my adblock stopped working but it worked fine on firefox.

these two events are several years apart if that wasn't clear

I still recommend floorp, I love the sidebar.

Because I use only android or Samsung dex. It doesn't work on dex & android seems forgotten. I use per site zoom to much.

Back in the early days Mozilla redesigned Firefox interface. It was so incomprehensively moronic that I moved to Chrome.
