    I tried Firefox in like 2016 but it was very slow for some reason.
    Is it fast now? Been thinking about securing my privacy lately so I might give it another try.

    Im going for as much privacy I can while still maintaining as much functionality as possible.
    Anyone having any pointers?

      Ive used Firefox and chrome for a long time side by side and on a daily use basis there is not any discernable difference that’s caused by the browser. On Firefox, add the extensions ublock origin, privacy badger, and decrentraleyes to start with, and I’d recommend changing default search to duckduckgo or start page as well. Your entire web experience will be massively improved (Yes ddg and start page look and feel different. Search results are the same but without all the ads and misdirects)

      Bro, 2016 in browser terms is ancient history.

      Imagine saying in 2003: “I tried such-and-such in 1996. Is it fast now?”

        Im getting old. Feels like the first Avatar movie came out a couple of years ago to me.

      If you want privacy, you will sacrifice convenience.
