Use Firefox for anything app-site-ish, but something else for the rest of the non-JS "document web".

HN doesn't need much in the way of a browser, for example. Ditto for a lot of other forums out there. The sooner we get rid of the notion that the only browsers we're supposed to use are Firefox or something else by Big Tech, and the sooner developers stop drinking the Goog-Aid of "progress", the more true browser diversity will occur.

Fully agreed; i also enjoy using an actual video player to play videos vs letting the now operating-system-sized-javascript-cruft-in-browser to try to do its thing. there are alternatives out there, use them; its called "the open web" for a reason, that "source code" fed to us can is code that we can choose to render, or not

I enjoyed Suckless Surf, although I always had the vague, nagging suspicion that Firefox must be doing something extra behind the scenes with privacy and security…
