To the people, is Firefox still the go to browser? Is there something better out there for the average person? I’ve heard good things about internet explorer.
Yes.
First of all, I’d really love to know who told you anything, let alone good, about IE.
If anything, Firefox is in the best spot it’s ever been. Any time I’ve encountered an issue with it, it was because Google are actively crippling the web experience for the rest of the internet
Unless you’re using android where on tablets it still doesn’t support multi tab browsing but is an overblown phone app.
doesn’t support multi tab browsing
What do you mean? Having multiple tabs open at once?
I think they’re comparing chrome’s user interface which, on a tablet, switches to a more desktop like interface with the tab bar instead of the tab counter. It is something I wish firefox would also implement but not a deal breaker.
*cough cough*
It’s been in Firefox nightly for a few months.
Yes bit not yet released and has been in backlog for 2 years, not great for a mainstream browser.
What do you mean by multi-tab browsing.
I’ve used Firefox on Android tablets and while it does have a “phone app” UX to it, it works fine; specifically tabbed browsing is not an issue.
Don’t feed the troll.
Internet Explorer is pretty much dead, replaced by Edge. Edge is better than the early days when Explorer was a joke but I still prefer Firefox by a mile
Inb4 a crypto bro recommends Brave
Thanks legends
IE is the best!
Unrelated, would you mind taking a few facebook quizzes and how’s your bank accound doing?

Did you try not being a flog ya whole life.
lol I dont know what this means. all i can say is i misread the message as not-a-joke before realizing i was wrong and then deleted the message. whole process took roughly 30 seconds.
There are only two browsers now, chrome(ium) and firefox. Everything else is one of those with some changes.
Firefox based is usually the way to go if you want to avoid anything Google related.
Otherwise, they’re on par with each other, imo.
Isn’t Safari WebKit which is different again? Or is that a chromium base as well? (I realise you can’t exactly choose Safari unless you have Apple stuff, but I thought it was its own thing).
Yes, but just plain firefox
As opposed to what? Chocolate Firefox?
knockoffs like Brave
Nah, Floorp is Firefox with the features Firefox is missing.
Still the best IMO, and how is it not for the average person? It’s just as fully featured and easy to use as anything else.
Firefox has been my preferred browser since 0.9. But whenever I help set up a relative’s or friend’s computer, I always install chrome as the default browser. With the lack of adherence to web standards and most sites only testing against chrome, it just makes chrome/chromium the obvious choice if you don’t want to deal with the occasional breakage.
