> something feels wrong with them

Starting out with a strong argument, I see.

> the code has become basically a mini-os

Well yeah, Chrome OS is a thing. That being said, all current browser codebases are the size of operating systems.

> a monopoly also

Where did Safari and Firefox go all of a sudden?

> and there are way too many things going on with Javascript

Both good and bad, the web would be a worse and way less interactive place without JS. Without JS, we would be stuck with the web of 1995.

> security issues

As you said yourself, the codebase has the size of an operating system, so no surprises there.

> bugs etc constantly getting patched

which is a good thing.

> too popular

Thats not a thing. People use what they want to use. Too bad for you that its not Deplatformingfox.

> Some people actually believe that chromium browsers have the best security

Its not a matter of belief, bud. Belief belongs to the realm of religion.

That Chromium has strong sandboxing and real site isolation is not belief, it is fact, verifiable via the open source code.

> Firefox, gets nowhere near the security issues of browsers like Chrome

Yeah, because its not a valuable target with 3% market share. Not because it is well-engineered (which it isnt, its garbage).

> Firefox, gets nowhere near the security issues of browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave and Vivaldi.

Because nobody uses it.

> What browser is safer to use? Firefox is!

LOL, nope. You cant have it both ways. You claim Firefox is secure based on its irrelevancy (which is a shoddy argument in itself, but hey, lets ride with it), but when more people start using it, it will become a more attractive target of hackers, invalidating the irrelevancy factor.

> Firefox is the only FOSS browser maintained by well paid developers

Evidently false. Chromium is open source. So is WebKit. And Deplatformingfoxs devs are actually paid by Google.

> Google chrome is a proprietary browser where an ad tech company bloats the code.

So what? Chrome is just a closed source variant of Chromium, which is open source. And ad tech? Where do you think Mozzarellas money comes from? Did I miss the part where Mozzarella publicly came out against ads?

> No thanks. Firefox is much safer.

Nice ad. Want a job in the ad tech industry?

Quality of gHacks posts went downhill ever since they said bye bye to fact-based arguments for the most part.
