Who the fuck is still using Chrome? I'll kill you motherfucker.
Firefox, comrade.
But be sure to immediately download an extension that snoozes inactive tabs, cuz otherwise it runs like shit
It's times like this that remind me that I barely use the normal internet and I don't use it like most people do, because my first thought was "you have inactive tabs?"
The only synchronous thing I have used the internet for in over a year is telehealth. I use the Tor browser more than I use Firefox.
I close about 3000 tabs at once each year.
Why not just let them decay? You could set your browser to close the tabs if they haven't been active in a month.
Ah yes. I tell people "I'm filing for tab bankruptcy". I still select all tabs and bookmark them to a new folder just in case.
Baby steps. Recommend Ungoogled Chromium first.
Firefox is unironically easier to switch to than ungoogled chromium for the average user imo.
Why would you take a half measure if it's equally as easy as a full one?
I wouldn't. I'm an IceCat guy. But the OP is fond of Chrome for some reason.
One of my browser idle games I use to kill time at work doesn't run well in firefox
I use it to run any Google services that I have use for (Gmail, YouTube, docs, etc). Keeps that shit out of my Firefox and tends to run better in Chrome anyway. I choose not to use Google services as much as I can, but I know too many people who don’t care and send me shit on there.
