    Do you really think that I do not know all of that? The difference between the two of us that you are someone who actually still finds one of these browsers recommendable. I on the other end of the spectrum belong to those people, who spend their time occasionally to figure out which of the offered garbage is the least bad choice.
    You need to try to understand what others write before you answer. And my comment was not adressed to you at all, I simply wanted to make something clear to someone else, who unlike you asked a very sensible question....

    Strange question, try, if you like. You do not have to ask the permission.

    Mozilla's website, as well as all their product websites, are being updated too.

    Have not used FF years but are they come to senses and include FFmpeg based decoder for h264, h265 and so on without requiring OS based framework, for example N based Windows do not have media trashware installed at all.

    YES, they have. You can play such videos natively within your Firefox web browser, even if you have no media codecs installed onto your computer. This works in Windows N Editions and even Linux distros which have only basic components. ;)

    This seems to be a common trend on the internet at the moment (even playing out on social media). For the 1st time in a long time, Mozilla Firefox has made a browser better than Google Chrome, and Chrome users are doing 1 of 3 things
    1. Attacking people personally
    2. Misinformation
    3. Trying to passively promote Chrome (usually without explanation)

    It is actually sort of funny to watch. :roll1: Out of all the many things in life and in the world going on right now, getting upset about a web browser seems like it would be unimportant and childish to be going to such lengths. Yet at the moment, Chrome users are starting to remind me of Trump supporters during the election. As if shouting, "Chrome!" loud enough and often enough, meant something. :rofl:

    This is about alternatives to Google, right? And I did not say you should try it, right? So, in your words: "Why:DDGG ? yeah iknow i can select EU Servers and this search engine is maked in EU, but do you love it more than Startpage and why should i try it?"

    I had noticed a long time ago that when you get used to a newspaper, you don't like the others, you can't even find the news in them. Well, it's now something similar with browsers. People get used to and like what they have, and rarely change.

    So on my old XP computer I had Firefox and Opera. But Firefox didn't work well and left a bitter taste, while I got used to Opera. Consequently, I would very reluctantly leave Opera to go back to Firefox, whatever face lifting they do to it.

    For completeness, I add that Chrome itself doesn't make much sense, as there are better alternatives based on the same engine, namely chromium, offering better features and without Google's data collection. Such are Opera and Vivaldi. As I said, I chose the first.
