I'll tell you two facts about me. One, I use Firefox on a daily basis. And two, I've been continually impressed by GeForce Now, Nvidia's PC game streaming service that somehow works a whole lot better than you expect.
So it's a red letter day in my household, as Firefox has been added to the list of officially supported browsers. Andrew Fear, the director of GeForce Now, is quoted in the Mozilla announcement as saying:
"Firefox earned its place on our list of supported browsers by delivering the first-class experience GeForce Now players expect. We set a high bar for browser support, and we’re excited to welcome Firefox—giving millions of Firefox fans a new way to stream the games they love."
Mozilla describes gaming as "one of the web's toughest tests," confirming that behind today's announcement lies "months of collaboration and engineering" to bring the browser up to spec.
Chrome, Edge, Safari and Opera were already supported, but it seems to have taken some extra work to get Firefox up to speed. Still, Firefox users can now stream more than 2,000 games through their browser using the GeForce Now service.
I pitted an actual RTX 5080-equipped gaming PC against GFN's Ultimate tier service last year, and came away feeling like a bit of a dinosaur. I like my games to run locally (mainly out of principle), but I have to say, the experience was remarkably close.
I'm not ready to make the leap myself, but given the cost of a new rig these days, I imagine many of you might be considering GFN over spending some serious cash on an upgrade. If so, more browser options are nothing but a good thing, if you ask me. Oranges and greens, all working together in total harmony. Something like that, anyway.
