What, Wired? Looks great to me--one of the most pleasant-looking article sites I like to read, but that's on Firefox with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.
Excellent taste, my fellow firefox-uBlockOrigin-DarkReader browser ;)
Isn't this how everyone browses the web?
Well, joking aside for a moment, I always strongly feel people should browse how they prefer.
That said, I don't want to give up this that I have. Although I'm not a firefox purist - I did use Chrome-based (Edge was the last one) with uBlock but came back to Firefox after Chrome killed that.
But I've switched many times over the years. I was using Netscape Navigator when IE3 came out and had much better features. Then when third-party browsers supported tabs I switched. Then Firefox for a good while. For a long time, Chrome was too heavy for my machine. Then Firefox went bad for a while and I switched to Chrome. Back to Firefox, back to Chrome. I got spoiled on vertical tabs with Vivaldi and then I had to have that so I ended up on Edge because of the vertical tab and Chrome extension support. And now Firefox.
I've skipped over times I've used multiple browsers regularly, and I've probably forgotten some switched in there - it's been a long long journey since 1994. lol.
I've grown picky over the decades, so yeah, for me, Firefox with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader and a vertical tab setup are sort of foundational / ground floor requirements for me. lol
