There’s like… no downside: all upside.
Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.
I have to use Chrome for...
Logging into PSN, since something in Firefox hard locks when I try it. I think it's to do with Firefox's password manager.
VR porn.
Some videos. Firefox doesn't support certain video types (namely HEVC/H.265) due to patent issues.
Why wont VR porn work anywhere else?
Firefox doesn't appear to support it. Chrome does.
At least on this site.
I think it's to do with WebXR support, but I'm not digging through 10 layers of bullshit JS to find out for certain.
Fair enough :)
Hm, I tried the site and the lady was getting rammed for me in Firefox 123 in Windows.
