How much does it really matter to use firefox?
I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can't seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?
P.S. To the people from my last post regarding something similar, Firefox was too slow, I'm sorry, but I use Vivaldi instead of Brave because Brendon Eich can suck my dick.

FF is totally broken for me when I try to use anything Google or Cloudflare related for some reason. With cloudflare, I'm in a human verification loop and with Google I get the message "This browser or app may not be secure", in a regular window or private window. This is Ubuntu 22.04. Works fine in chrome. Only browser plug-in I use is KeePassXC, and disabling it doesn't resolve the issue. Disabling pfblocker-ng at my router also did not solve the issue.
Have you tried creating a new, clean profile? You can do so with
about:profiles.I'll give that a shot when I get home.
This fixed the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!
Anecdotal, and I am a Windows idiot, but I've never had a problem like this with Firefox in my life. People always talk about how slow it is and how half the internet doesn't work on it but I've personally never had a single problem. It's just worked perfectly out of the box since the very beginning.
Makes me wonder what the difference is.
Ditto, no issues, no performance issues. I use it on macos and windows. The only thing it doesn't work with is our work's intranet and internal HR web portals, but they're designed for Edge as we're technically not allowed to use any other browser. That niche case aside it works great on anything I try.
Weird, they all work fine for me. Some cookies thing?
Private browser, wiped local data. I have no idea what the problem is.
Flatpak or Snap?
Repo. I had to abandon the default snap install because it was sandboxed, and I need the KPXC plugin to be able to communicate with KPXC for login autofill.
And for reference, this is FF119.
Weird. I only asked because I've ran across posts of that happening to the snap and flatpak versions but haven't seen anything about repo versions.
Yeah, it's super annoying as I don't use Chrome for anything anymore and this just recently started happening, maybe within the last 2-3 months.
