    The transition was a little weird for the first week, now I just use Chrome when I have to login with Google for some stupid shit. Otherwise it sits in my app drawer, because I’m definitely never logging in to a Google service while using Firefox.

    YouTube is better, browsing is better, ad block works, it’s just overall a superior browser.

      Use the multi container extension for Firefox and have all your Google stuff in one container, banks in another, social media in another etc.

      I’m definitely never logging in to a Google service while using Firefox.

      Could you elaborate on this? Why not use Firefox for logging into Gmail, Youtube, etc

        Basically just don’t want to give them the ability to track my every click.
