• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

Autocorrect had no hand in that I'm afraid. That mess is all me. My keyboard usually handles that kind of thing pretty well. Multiple words even

By any chance do you use SwiftKey? I can string together multiple misspelled words and it almost always figures me out.

Nailed it! That's why I can't switch.

It was the distinct lack of autocorrect 😜 For years now I have disabled autocorrect for this reason. Yes, I still make some small mistakes here and there but it forces me to be careful with what I type and to quickly check before I send. That way I don't have a situation where I've typed something expecting autocorrect to save me but it doesn't.
