+ a mediocre browser
No, you're a mediocre browser
this is legit one of the funniest comebacks
And his mom is too
Can confirm; Dan’s mom = very mediocre. Not worth the journey to her house 3/10.
Gotem!
His dad is a great Bowser though
What is mediocre about it? What would be an example of a good browser, and what are the differences?
Nothing is mediocre about it. All of the “best” browsers are based on FF’s Gecko engine. Maybe they have complaints about Mozilla or the weird stuff they’ve been doing with FF recently. But the actual Gecko engine is solid, and it’s what all the best browsers are based on.
Don't feed the troll, down vote and move on
im an old web dev and im stuck in my shitty ways which includes not liking how ff is the only effing browser that takes extra effort to make the front-end look and function correctly. tbh, i do use ff on android 99% of the time, but ff on desktop breaks too many sites if you have any inkling of ff's security turned on.
im not wrong, you all are just fanboys
complaints not parsed into action items aren’t worth anyone’s time.
Why?
It's bait. The only "better" browsers are downstreams of FF.
No, you’re a towel
Yeah, but it does run uBlock Origin, renders web pages just fine, can do WebRTC, and even has support for bookmarks and pinned tabs. What else do you want from a web browser?
Chrome's advantages were in the security and performance departments. But Firefox isn't that much worse.
