Chrome is popular because of inertia. I was a huge Mozilla fan for years, until it became unusable. Chrome was the only choice and noticeably more performant. Since then, there hasn’t been sufficient reason to redirect that inertia. Yes, that was quite a few years ago. Lots of inertia

Firefox with sideberry (vertical tabs). Ultimate browser.

What about LibreWolf, a fork of FF. Suppose to be better for security. Love using it !! Ditched Brave a couple of days ago

Has Google stopped funding Mozilla yet?

Been a proud Firefox user for a long time. Never switched to Chrome, don't plan to.

Chrome does suck regarding privacy.

But the article shared here is basically an ad for Firefox.

FF has been my daily driver... longer than I can remember on essentially anything that can handle a browser. It's powerfull, feature rich, extensible, etc. But it does tend gain weight between major overhauls.

Out of curiosity, being a Linux user, I installed Chromium not 2 weeks ago and the thing is fast. It outperforms Firefox on my aging machine by far. And I was actually surprised. Yes, I do have the ghost of Google just waiting to sink its fangs in me, which I dislike, but I really have to admit the browser is fast, light and easy to approach for new users.

Will I let go of FF? Not really but Chromium did manage to get my attention.

I love Firefox, been ride or die since I started. Chrome is just pure Spyware.

My biggest concern with Firefox is that Google continues to make people's life hard. There have already been instances of things loading slowly because of crippled standards that only work on Chrome, or features like in-page translate only being available in Chromium based browsers.

Overall I've really enjoyed using it for the past 15 years or so, but it's definitely had periods of very rocky performance

Also disable the default DNS over HTTPs to Cloudflare.

Was using Brave and after reading things about it here, just switched back to Firefox!
