"Only chrome and edge is allowed for security reasons" as we are told. Extensions are disabled for those browsers as well. Now I am tortured by ads without Ublock. Thinking of resigning. How stupid do they have to be to believe firefox is less secure than those bloat shite browsers? Unfbelievable.

Tiny edit (because people seem to be pissed): I wasn't serious about resigning ofcourse. I was just joking and exaggerating. I am just a bit frustrated.

I have been using Firefox as my default browser for like 3 years now, and I do not miss Google Chrome at all. I actually prefer Firefox. The only times that I have ever needed to go back to Chrome is for some websites that refuse to run some javascript execution like payment or something like that, on Firefox.

Overall though, Firefox is not missing anything that Chrome has, and it is more private and secure. Why did people flock to Chrome a decade ago?
