Pantherina,

This meme makes no sense. Why would Windows want that?

Surprisingly I dont get weird popups when installing Firefox

It doesn’t have to make sense as long as it bashes Windows.

pedz,

But then you use Debian and what’s preinstalled is Firefox ESR, so you have to install Firefox anyway.

What is wrong with Firefox “extended support release” ESR ?

pedz, (edited )

I get better performance from the release version than from ESR. The ESR version in Debian has always been slower than the release version for me. Especially on YouTube.

EDIT: For those that doubt: reddit.com/…/how_to_make_firefox_esr_work_with_yo…

lemann,

Not op, but nothing significant IMO unless you’re a web developer (in which case it’s worth considering using the dev edition instead) or just want the latest features.

The ESR on Debian gets updated reasonably frequently with backported security patches and bug fixes

Pantherina,

Not all security issues get CVEs. Thats only the security parts. Its old as balls, and Firefox never had any breaking bugs for me, thats the “old as balls” part

Just install scoop and install packages in the terminal if you’re bothering with Windows

nexussapphire,

Someone should make a distro that is just all the annoying stuff in windows.

Yeah but sometimes it’s the ESR version which is super slow to get feature updates. Though I suppose that’s fair for distros intended for server or other enterprise applications.

MNByChoice,

Why are you guys doing default installs? Setup you preseeds and get what you want.

saltesc,

Actually like the Chromium Edge; way better than Chrome. But Firefox.

SpaceNoodle,

Meanwhile I have to install links manually
