>ditched chrome after it started fucking with adblockers>installed firefox with high hopes>random crashes out of nowhere>spotify stops playing randomly and needs to be refreshed>tons of other random issuesOk now what do I do?
You put up with it or go back to chrome
>>106483405Works on my machine>spotifylol lmao even.
>>106483430There really isn't a working alternatives to Chrome?
>>106483405lies!
>>106483405>random crashesdon't know about this, never happened to me>spotifyInstall spotify with spotx instead of using it in the browser, uBO doesn't work well with it
>>106483405Try Basilisk, K-Meleon, Dillo... or don't use jeetscript goyslop
>>106483405Are we talking PC or mobile, just to be sure?Random crashes are very rare in my experience, and I use it like 15 hours a day and have done so for decades now.I can't help you with Spotify as I've rarely used it, it seems very annoying to use. But maybe it's an adblocking issue rather than a Firefox one. Or maybe your settings are too strict and it's interfering with something, check under Tools > Settings > Privacy and Security.>>106483466You could try Brave or Vivaldi. They're Chromium forks that are sticking with Manifest V2 extensions as far as I know. Brave even has built-in adblocking so it's worth keeping as a backup. Well, technically Vivaldi does as well I think, but it's not as good at adblocking.
>>106483521Windows PCI'm going to try Vivaldi
>>106483482>Install spotify with spotxAaaand windows defender just found a trojan inside.
>>106483563inside of what? just run the script in powershell...you can read the source code as well and check for le trojan
>>106483563Not that anon, but are you sure it's not a false positive? Did you get it off their official GitHub page? Maybe upload the installer or executable through VirusTotal and see what percentage deem it suspicious. If it's a small number, it's likely a false positive. And the Issues page on their Git does say that it triggers false positives.
>>106483594It detected the installation script as a trojan. Might be a false positive ( >>106483603 ) but I don't care enough to risk it.
>>106483622the github page has 18k stars and the script isn't even long. Do you really think somebody wouldn't have noticed the trojan already?
>>106483482>spotx>>106483563what are the chances spotx will get the same treatment as spotube (pic related)https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube
>>106483644Maybe spotx being a patcher doesn't trigger the spotify corpas as bad as a standalone client. It could definitely happen though, but I think they know that if they shut down one adblocker another will pop up eventually
>>106483405>>random crashes out of nowhereDoesn't happen on my system.>>spotify stops playing randomly and needs to be refreshedInstall brave and use that for web apps.>>tons of other random issuesYes.
>>106483641don't know, don't caremaybe you should actually put the tiniest bit of effort into your software and make sure it isn't flagged as a virus by windows defender if you want me to run it
>>106483709your loss faggot
>>106483709That's an unreasonable standard, especially when it comes to piracy. And false positives tend to out themselves by never giving you any details about the virus, just flagging it as generic or potentially unwanted tools or whatever.
>random crashesNEVER EVER>spotifyLOL
>>106483709Don't run anything >>>/g/ tells you.
>things that never happened
>>106483405>random crashes out of nowheresaaar do the nudefull and use chroooome, truust me saaaar I am certified firefox user sarrrr!!
>>106483405chromesissies really running out of fud, muh worse security, muh slower, muh crashes, just go back to your adbrowser cuckie
>>106483405>what do I do?yay -S icecat-bin
the most recent firefox update broke all my extensions, i read there were a couple forks that aren't for gay retards, is this true and what are they
>>106484140>updoooteryou deserve whatever bad things that happens to you
>>106483709/g/ --> tech illiterate faggots...
https://github.com/r58Playz/uBlock-mv3Just use this you fucking virgin
I used Firefox since before chrome was a thing and I've never had any of these problems that these threads keep talking about.perhaps it's you
>>106484140>the most recent firefox update broke all my extensionsI'm on the latest update of the regular edition (Windows) and it works fine. I've got a thousand extensions. Why did yours break? Are you sure it's not just one of them that's dragging all the others down? I've had that happen with some adblocker back in the day, way before uBlock Origin became the obvious choice.
>>106484822yeah i should check them a bit more carefully since i confrimed it's a brower specific issue
>>106484523I've had plenty of issues with it throughout the years, but it's usually the website's fault (YouTube in 90% of cases) and Firefox updates fixed it rather quickly.
All browsers fucking suck at this point. The only one I found tolerable was fucking Brave. I hate using it, but it beats all other browsers. Fuck Brave.
>>106485799I was wondering where the brave shills went
>>106484852Maybe stop installing thousand useless addons?Most of them are just fake useless crap made by poojeet scammers anyway, all you need are ublock and tampermonkey and maybe SingleFile saver since browser saving methods are still from the 90's era.
>>106485886i have like five and they've all been working for years
>>106486179Which are?
>>106483405>>>spotify stops playing randomly and needs to be refreshedbro spotify is an app why tf are you running it in a browser
>>106486218No ads in the browser version if you have an adblocker.
>>106483405Never happened to me, but I don't use Shitify.
>>106483405>>random crashes out of nowhereDoubtful.
>>106483405You can just listen to music on YouTube
>>106484140Is this 2017?
Other that being a little slower compared to chromium browsers and some shitty websites not developing enough for Firefox it works great.It seems is a (You) problem.
Does anyone here visit sankakucomplex? That website stalls the entire browser on Firefox. While watching videos, the CPU will eventually increase in usage, the video stops, and every single tab stalls/loses internet. This literally only affects firefox.
>>106483405firefox takes 500mil per year from google so the latter doesn't get sued for monopolizing. use librewolf and delete your spotify account unless you like taking it up the ass nice and slow
>>106486967mozilla*, not firefox
>>106486967What do people have against Spotify? They give us free music.
>>106483466nope, supermium works in windows 7, firefox is probably softlocked already like chrome
>>106486992in 256kbps under drm while a few suits get pedo tier rich off the musician's back. aren't they pumping ai music into playlists now after datamining all of their users for years and making it look "cool" with "wrapped"?torrent all of your music, buy from small artists if you want to support is the clear best option
>>106483405I'm on fucking nightly and been on it for almost a year. I have never had any of those issues. Nigga, your computer is cooked.
>>106483466Anything based on Chromium is just Chrome. And the only other browsers on the market... are derivatives of Firefox. It's basically a diopoly.At least Firefox doesn't answer directly to Alphabet; though even then, I recommend not using the main Firefox-- lately it's been riddled with AI (including an AI chatbot sidebar and AI-labeled tab groupings) that may be the source of some of your issues (and DEFINITELY cause performance issues). Luckily, there are plenty of forks to choose from if you go looking. https://lwn.net/Articles/1012453/ This article lists a few of 'em, though the author assumes you're using Linux (and a few of those forks may be Linux-exclusive)
>>106483405>random crashes out of nowhereLiterally never crashed on me>spotify I dunno, I've never used Spotify because I'm not a normalfaggot>tons of other random issuesNever had any
>Stops your browser hopingCome home.
>>106483405Unfortunately you just live with it or fork it and fix it yourself. I doubt if you browse here they would ever accept your commits to fix the bugs you experience.
>>106485799why is brave so hated? a qrd pls
>>106487252Awesomekling will save us
>>106487553Crypto related garbage you can turn off but shouldn't be there in the first place and tells you a lot about the intentions of the devs
>>106483466there is one.
>>106483405I literally have like 30+ extensions and just fucking grab my entire userdata folder originally from 15 years ago and pass it between machines and when reinstalling windows.The fuck you doing wrong?
>>106483466no, and (You) are why
>>106487838>and just fucking grab my entire userdata folder originally from 15 years ago and pass it between machines and when reinstalling windows.Hey, me too. The whole appdata (sans some microsoft folders and literal trash) has been through so many reinstalls. I probably have files from way back when I first installed windows 7.And yes, my firefox never crashes either.
works on my machines (phone and laptop)
go back to chrome and buy youtube premium of course
if you pay for spotify you shouldn't have an opinion on browsers
>consider dropping Firefox because it's a fucking obese VRAM hog who will never release what it consumes until you close the window>after setting up Vivaldi to do everything I wanted, I find out how fucking retardedly it handles multiple profiles, to the point of needing me to create multiple accounts because every profile is completely separate from each other>meanwhile Firefox just fucking works, by handling each profile like a separate device that can have different settings from each other but can still sync up as you'd expect (even though it looks like they're slowly moving to that retarded Chrome way of doing profiles too, fuck)>and that's on top of having Sidebery and multi-account containersI think I'm just going to wait until they fix this VRAM leak that has been ignored for at least 2 years.
>>106483405>>random crashes out of nowheretake a bath, they can smell you
>>106483405>>106483466It's only you, nobody else has these problems, fix your PC, operating system or internet connection.
>>106486992>They give us free music.So does youtube and torrent. I download all my music and organize it neatly. I will be able to listen to my music even if the internet dies, cloudflare has another fuckup or spotify discontinues its service, you won't, you are mere cattle. You will own nothing and you will be happy.
>>106487752They have a long history of scamming their users just read the Wikipedia article. Everyone who recommends this shit is a paid shill. Nobody actually uses brave and likes it.
>>106483521I've went with Brave after using FireFox for two decades.Chromium is snappier, benchmarks show that it's more than twice faster and every user script executes better.Using the built-in adblocker since it has the smallest penalty on performance and it just works.
>>106483446it's cuz on some cpus firefox didn't bother to properly implement the DRM shit on chip
>>106486295This https://spicetify.app/plus the adblock extension inside its store
>>106483405it blows me away that there are zoomers and other retards who have NEVER ever used firefox once. That shit is crazy af to me.
>>106483534>Windows PC>not using edgekeklmao even
>>106483594>you can read the source code as well and check for le trojando freetards really?
>>106483405I personally switched to Edge and it works perfectly
I was using edge but unblock doesn't work on YouTube. I have to reload pages all the time
>>106483405Brave #JustWorks
You using Linux or something? Works perfect on windows
i switched to pale moon in 2013 because i didn't like the then-upcoming australis firefox redesign. still using it
Firefox just crashed again. I had 18 tabs open and it just froze and stopped responding.
>>106483804this
>>106491753What extensions are you using?
>>106490275>>106491018Please stop forcing the Edge meme, it's not funny.
>>106488217Same.dunno what's wrong with op
>>106492650uBlock origin, consent-o-matic and bypass paywalls clean.
>>106492658Edge works perfectly for me
>>106492662Hmm... Maybe switch Consent-o-Matic with "I still don't care about cookies". Normally I'd say just use the uBlock Origin filter list that blocks cookie consent formes, but that's not always enough. Consent-o-matic is very bad in my experience though, it just lets a ton of stuff through. I don't know if it's what's causing your crashes though. Also, I tend to keep the Paywall Bypass one deactivated until I actually need it so I can't comment on that.Of course the cause doesn't have to be extension related, it's just the first thing I try to rule out whenever I have browser issues.
>>106492671I'm sure that many other Microsoft employees agree, but that doesn't matter. Many other Chromium forks work even better.
>>106489577I will bet all my money that his crashes are being caused by something entirely unrelated to the browser, and if OP had more than 2 brain cells he could discover it easily by checking his crash dump.
give me a chromium fork that is not brave pls
>>106491324Grade 5 was best.
>>106491324She looks 35 by the end.
>>106492937Vivaldi, but it's not fully open source.
>>106483405Firefox literally never crashed on my PCs except the one time I fucked up the about:config many years ago, had to delete my whole profile and start fresh again.The moral is just don't touch shit you do not know about.
anon: installing spyware browser (firefox) with 40+ retarded addons to make browsing "better"also anon: why is my computer crashing
>>106483405why are you trying to use your web browser to play music?
>>106491324Grade 4 was kinoGrade 5 was OKEverything else was BRICKED
>>106487553resource heavy for no reason, makes 10000 folders in your temp folder every time you use it, doesnt play nice with nvidia drivers cause they dont update their chromium properly, jeeted.
>>106483466Chrome reskins with someone else's spyware layered on top of Google's
>>106483405>Ok now what do I do?Install Opera or Vivaldi
>>106495710I refuse to believe a simple, functional internet browser is that difficult to make.
>>106489660Skill issue why would you use drm garbage? Just grab the flacs from 1337
>>106495939It's not, but if you want all the features every websites nowadays offer then you need decades of programming
>>106495926Vivaldi is the real opera, go with them.
>>106483466I’ve used Edge for 10+ years now and I find it much better than Chrome.
>>106491324>yt women hit the wall in 4th gradeso that's why they don't reproduce anymore huh
>>106487819Safari is actually garbage.
>>106483405there's no escaping the jeetening of modern software OP. we need a separate internet that only white people can access.
>>106496238it's not
>>106496238>builtin user agent switcher>api specifically made for content blockers which allows for powerful adblocking down to preventing requests from being made (not like ublock origin lite)>actual settings menu full of meaningful options>a few of these being "disable javascript", "block all cookies" and "allow unsigned extensions" which are simple toggles>0 (zero) ads, partner content, account sign in bullshit. absolutely no AI or llm feature>vertical tabs>better supported than firefox>simple "feature flags" menu right in the settings
>>106483405>using regular firefoxYou either have to change a junk load of settings.Or install a fork.Lot of people seem to like zen browser.A lot of the forks are old and suck. (palemoon and junk)I'm using floorp, it's good for me, for now.Honestly Until I see more options change or something, I might stick to floorp.>floorp?It's basically firefox, with less of the new anti privacy, and better bug fixes.
