When Chrome blocks ad-blockers as Google intends to do soon, I will entirely drop Chrome. And likely all of their services, as well: in for a penny, in for a pound.
People bring this up but I just can't fathom how that can be an argument.
Just use both. Use firefox for everything but keep chrome for development and potentially any google services you use. You really want to segment that anyway.
I switched to Firefox once Quantum came out and never looked back, I do tend to use Chrome occasionally when developing web apps, but FF has been my main browser for a while now and I'm perfectly happy with it and the development features it provides. What I'm saying is you can still use Chrome for testing/development and FF for browsing (with respect to your privacy)
I mentioned this earlier, but you could try "Brave" (https://brave.com/) a web browser based on chrome. same features just less of the google-stickiness.
Using chrome exclusively as a devtool is also an option, no? Anything else I’ll do on Firefox including containerized Google, Twitter and Facebook (deleted my account but using to block Facebook from any activity online that might be using them).
Which part of 'responsive design testing' in particular do you mean? I use devtools pretty religiously to check elements, but put responsivetester.net together a few years back for rapidly testing across multiple breakpoints. Then I'll use lambdatest.com (because it's wonderfully cheap) to actually device test prior to launch...
Well, as responsivetester.net uses iframes it will not work if the site is properly protected from click-jacking using the X-Frame-Options or CSP headers, and it will also not emulate touch scrolling/events. The devtools basically bring you a little bit closer to the real thing, although you still need to test with real devices in the end either way. As for how to use it see here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Responsive_De...
Edit: Not the web browser. I believe the current surveillance practices are dangerous to a free world. Hence the analogy with the train that goes to a bad place.
And newsbinator was talking about some feature, which is important but nowhere near the main issue. Hence the comfy chairs.
Yup. I've already moved to Firefox, using containers, ublock origin and auto-cookie-clear.
Also moved away from Google to DDG. I HATE the stupid name, it's slow, and sometimes I still have to use the !g thing, but overall it's decent.
Why do you care what it's named? Set it as the default search engine, and just type your query in the address bar and you'll get the results. In fact whatever you typed in duckduckgo's search field can be typed directly in the browser address bar (including switches like !g or !im)
Or if you use it frequently, just type 'd' and it'll be the first result.
As for the name, I call it DDG, which is also what I call David de Gea :-)
I already uninstalled Chrome everywhere except my smartphone. It pains me because Chrome's UX suits me better than anything else. But I can't fathom their decision.
It doesn't. The amount of rules you can stick in a Chrome extension is sufficient to block the majority of spam. Current block lists are mostly redundant and unoptimized.
