I switched to Firefox and using DDG as my search engine about 2m ago and I’ll be honest I really don’t care for it. I’m trying my best but I use my phone for 100% of my browsing and not being able to set a home page sucks and with DDG searching for stuff takes significantly longer to get answers with. I search for a ton of stuff that I just need a quick answer to that when searching for Google would just show the answer instead of needing to open links and such. I’m giving it a bit more time but I’ll probably end up back with chrome.

Try the startpage search engine. It has been much better for me than DDG.

Firefox allows you to select a home page, tho? Not sure what your problem with Firefox is.

On android firefox just doesn’t perform so well as Chrome does and can seem slow and buggy.

So my gut instinct is to go to Firefox (again), but how can it compete? It’s down to like 2% market share, there’s a serious portion of the web that Firefox just can’t render anymore, and there’s all this press about the CEO getting this monsterous golden parachute.

So realistically what can anyone do but continue to use the only browser people ever really test sites for anymore, or swear allegiance to either Microsoft or Apple?

Seems to me that Lemmy is nothing but a Firefox promo platform these days. For weeks this is the one and only trending topic.
