If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I only ever tried Chrome on school computers but it was useless, always kept crashing.
Interesting. I switched to Firefox and will stay there, but I must say, Chrome is the most polished browser I've used. Firefox is a weird buggy mess that constantly freezes.
The Android version is clunky as hell, also.
Not to mention they finally fixed an issue with the print dialog in Firefox after months and me reporting it every single update.
Still sticking with Firefox, though.
You're getting downvoted for an opinion, but I'm upvoting you because I actually want to know the downsides of switching, because I'm considering it myself. Is there any truth to what you're saying, or do people just not like you saying something bad about firefox? I don't mind downsides to switching, I'd just like to be aware of them first so I don't get surprised and frustrated.
Everytime Firefox updates I have to restart the entire browser or it won't let me open a new tab. This has been going on for years. As a dev, I can't dynamically edit source during runtime ever since the Quantum update. It's noticeably slower these days, which is especialy bad on mobile/laptops due to battery life. If you're on Windows, you don't get video super sampling (NVIDIA) or HDR videos.
I wouldn't call it a buggy mess that crashes frequently, but it's certainly constantly getting on my nerves.
Shouldn't you have to restart the browser when it updates? Isn't that normal? That's how Chrome works? Or do you mean it doesn't save your browser tabs for whenever you opens, or?
The no-hdr videos might be a deal breaker for me on PC.... I watch a lot of videos. Thanks for mentioning this.
