From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

LibreWolf FTW! 👍
When I was running it every other website would break, switched over to Mullvad Browser instead.
Mullvad Browser is the same but worse.
If you have websites break without noscript, you visit some really shady websites.
Be happy they break and dont claim the browser.
For my websites nearly never cause problems, and if they do Firefox tells me that they want to read my canvas data, send push ads and more, so its obvious.
not necessarily shady... probably designed specifically for Chrome.
Bad websites then. Do you have examples? Thats really bad.
Google, for example, did many demo websites that only worked on chrome in the past... I've also seen government website that only worked in Chrome... but unfortunately I don't keep a list. A company I worked at in the past also had a training website that only worked in Chrome (I'm not revealing this one though...).
Edit: Just stumbled on this website: http://Thai5sushibar.com ... not sure if it's my extensions, but it doesn't load in Firefox and loads in Chrome. Good rainbow rolls.
Uhm that site has no https and redirects somewhere else, dont feel like enabling javascript for that one.
And Ublock blocks it too. So yeah not a positive example
I just came about it today... but still, it works in Chrome and not Firefox. I have seen many others in the past though.
Like, I am very sure this page is malware or something. What does it do?
I admit that it sucks, but it's a local restaurant's site
Lol
Why is it worse?
It always uses private browsing mode, read the other comments.
