I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.
I use firefox/librewolf for everything and keep a chromium based browser around for those rare websites that don’t work well on Firefox (fuck you google drive, ik you’re doing it on purpose).
I don’t know about you but whenever I fiddle around about:config in firefox, Google Drive stops working. Maybe make a new profile and don’t change much in about:config? This got Google Drive working for me
I’m not sure why there’s so much love for FF here. It sucks for web development - or rather there are some very important features that Firefox doesn’t have that Chrome does have.
So when you’re writing JavaScript, as I’m sure you know, it’s bad form to add prototypes to primitives.
So let’s say you have an Object, and it holds data about a person: hair color, eyes, weight, height, etc.
But if you want to make that object do something, like calculate the bmi, what do you do?
You could just go ahead and add “.calculateBmi” to Object, but that’s bad form, right?
So you create a Person object, and it has weight, height and all the other stuff, then you can also assign it methods, like .calculateBmi, and that’s great.
Well, in Chrome when you console.log the Person object, it’s says “Person” and it lets you open it right up and look around to see what the height and weight are, and it’s great.
However, In FF, it just says “Object.” And you have to open it, then open a few other things underneath it to find out what type of object it is, and it’s members and methods.
And its takes way longer to debug. And there’s a few other, little things like that, that I can’t think of. I’d love to use FF, but it’s just not there yet.
Firefox for me, and then edge if I have issues with it. I used edge on its own for a while but I got tired of that homepage it keeps reverting back to for some reason

For me it's homebrewery (where people post their custom D&D monsters and such). That website doesn't render the pdfs properly unless using a Chromium based browser. Also Owlbear Rodeo (a virtual table top where our D&D group play) that has some memory issues? It just starts lagging like mad after a few minutes.
Also my SO's online therapy service only allow them to call with a Chromium browser.
Competablity was honestly felt better 10-15 years ago.
Lol same. I also use it for time critical stuff where you don’t want to risk a site breaking, like when trying to get tickets for good seats on a concert when sale opens.
