Poll: *** Which Web Browser Do You Mainly Use On Desktop ***

[Taziir]

I recall hearing the same that Youtube is deliberately throttled on Firefox. Some users get around this by spoofing their user agent and magically the performance issues are solved..

Besides Firefox on my personal machine I mostly use Edge at work as some of the corporate apps occasionally act weirdly on FF.

I wonder if Firefox branches (floorp, waterfox etc.) have the video issue.

Was reading an article recently which talked about how Google's javascripting is written in a way which deliberately favours chrome-derived engines and targets calls which the mozilla engine isn't as good at so that the likes of firefox suffers on google served webpages like youtube and similar.

I.e. it may not actually be firefox, but rather the server end hampering firefox.

So they pulled an Intel

Just yet another crappy thing to do personally.

Firefox. I switched from Internet Explorer in 2004 and I've used it ever since.
