it's really not that bad, you can export your settings and any firefox-based browser can read them and do most of the things, the worst you'd have to do is reinstalling all your extensions
but seriously it's like... a few hours of a single day at max, and in exchange you'll be so much more private and secure. I recommend LibreWolf for an out-of-the-box privacy browser instead of having to customize tons of firefox settings to be truly private
Yeah there's the problem.
I'm not talking about just me. I'm talking about getting mass migration to occur. The only people you're going to get to go through anything that takes more than 10-20mins at most are people that REALLLLLLLLLLLLLY care a lot.
i dunno, people who don't see the benefit in switching probably won't switch even if it is easy, and people who do see the benefit... well if they don't switch because of a mild inconvenience, i dunno, they probably didn't actually care
I try new browsers all the time and it's like 5 minutes to switch back and forth between all of the chromium skins and Firefox, and that includes my addon settings, if you don't have addons it's literally one button that pops up when you first launch it. People don't switch because what they have "works" and they don't really care.
Mercury promises to be a faster Firefox with Librewolf patches.
