I tried to switch to Firefox, but I fill out a lot of forms, and it doesn’t have autofill for them. It makes it very slow and frustrating. I’ve searched for solutions to activate it, add ons for it, etc to no avail. It seems that function may only be available in the US? It’s strange to have such a basic feature missing.

Thank you for all your efforts! Unfortunately, I have already looked at the support posts, they refer to settings that aren’t present in my version of Firefox. The add-ons all tell me they aren’t suitable for Android. When I go to the section thay say they are for Android, nothing comes up when I search autofill.
I didn’t catch you were in android. I think there has been some movement this month to make add-ons now accessible on Firefox Android.
I should’ve mentioned it in the original comment, that’s my bad. I was mostly venting lol. Sounds like it’ll be sorted shortly, hopefully before Chrome gets too painful to use.
a bunch of password managers (i.e. 1password) do this for you
Firefox absolutely can auto fill!
Well, it would appear the Android version can’t, at least not in Australia.
I haven’t noticed this myself. Did you look inside settings?
Very thoroughly, there’s settings for autofilling passwords, but not forms.
Firefox cannot autofill forms outside login credentials last i knew. That’s not a feature in it. So details like addresses and credit card info are not auto filled.
Well, that sucks. I guess I’m stuck with Chrome for now then. Thanks for the info.
I basically switch to firefox until something I need doesn’t work, then I go back to chrome until they do something scummy. I’m back on firefox now and the experience is better than previously. I will probably stay and keep Chrome for “just in case” stuff or when I want a browser with no privacy/adblock extensions.
So is adblock like totally dead on chrome ?
Wait until January 2024. Then it will be much less powerful
Not at all
it will be if Google goes forward with their plans.
2023 is the year of self-implosions. Time to switch to opera
Opera is chromium based. Try Firefox
“Chrome is a problem, better switch to chromium”
Well, actually … Ungoogled Chromium
Edit: formatting
Ungoogled or not, chromium is still a problem. It has become the defacto render engine, and Google is pulling the same shit as MS did with IE.
Some day someone is gonna have to explain this take to me.
Standards for the web are a good thing. Websites being slightly different to straight up breaking depending on what browser you use is an awful user experience.
I see nothing wrong with everyone defaulting to blink and v8. Makes the web better for everyone be it users or developers.
Chromium is open source! It feels like people’s blind hatred / paranoia of big tech makes people reject it on principle more than anything.
Opera is spyware
Opera won’t save you
It is sad, but through the events of the last few years (Reddit, Twitter, politics) companies have realized they can do whatever they want. While they will lose a significant portion of users, the mass majority will stay. The ones that leave are the ones they can’t abuse and they don’t want them anyway. Profit is better taking advantage of the complacent and losing the activists than the other way around.
Anywho, I will move to Firefox just like I moved to lemmy. Although I’m not sure moving to Firefox actually fixes anything other than giving Google less money. Now I just need to figure out how to have a phone without apple or Google getting a peice.
Fairphone 4 from certain vendors comes preloaded with e/OS which is like a deGoogled Android. Might work for people looking to move away from Google. I’m considering it myself for my next phone.
google pixel 5 bought used, unlock the bootloader and flash it with grapheneOS. download Firefox with AdBlock and use fdroid and aurora store (found on fdroid) for apps.
What really has me paranoid is all the ones suddenly deciding to power trip and give out bans over nothing. We need to create a safe place on the web where the corporations can’t get to us.
TikTok already did this in Indonesia.
They remove any videos that being critical towards TikTok. Especially, they’re trying to flood Indonesian market with cheap Chinese goods via TikTok Shop.
GrapheneOS. Don’t use Firefox on Android
GrapheneOS is a rom and firefox is a browser
You mean: “use vanadium, which is only available if you have a pixel and the technical skills and can-do to install a thirdparty rom”
Security on Firefox for Android is a significant concern.
not necessarily relevant to my message, but ok. can you provide a list of specific issues or CVEs?
