Honestly, I've just about had enough (lemmy.zip)

I'm doing my best to continue using Firefox, but it's becoming incredibly annoying, and I'm seriously at my wit's end and just about to give up on it permanently.

I've noticed during video calls it causes my computer to completely freeze up and require a reboot sometimes.

And on my phone, sometimes when I'm reading, it will just make my screen completely stop responding to me and I have to force reboot my phone in order to fix it.

I know that Gecko is the only other web engine option to fight Chromium's Blink, but I'm seriously just about fed up enough with Firefox to say fuck it.

Servo or ladybird may be the only real hope left.

I feel you. I have similar issues.

I've ALWAYS been a loyal Firefox user pretty much since it released but it's just unusable for some things now. I never used Chrome and I'd like to avoid it but it's getting difficult.

I luckily have Graphene on my phone so I use Vanadium, which I'm trusting is as solid as people say, but on my Linux desktop I'm kinda shit out of luck. I still mostly use Librewolf but issues persist. I ended up mostly using Chromium but people said that wasn't good so I have started using Brave since I was told that was better but I'm not particularly happy with it and I'm not convinced it's much safer than Chromium, which I never considered particularly safe anyway. No real options, I guess.
