Wow!

To me its currently the opposite.

I use Firefox for personal use, but I exclusively use Chromium for work just because of the amazing Tab Groups feature. I can't work without it anymore

I would love to switch to Firefox, but Chrome has a much better profiles management and I use it a lot!

No. This whole push feels astroturfed.

If you want the chrome experience in Firefox download a variant called Waterfox.

I've been using waterfox for years now I can't be half here.

I might be in the very minority crowd here, but I just can't get used to Firefox. I mean once upon a time I was clinging to Netscape screaming foul at Internet Explorer too, old habits die hard. But Chrome just clicks for me, whereas the multiple times I've tried Firefox, it just doesn't click for me. Can't put my finger on it.

I love firefox so much, but at times, I also am ready to ditch it. Some default configurations are just nothing but stupid. E.g.: all ports above 1024 are by default blocked, even with local domains in your LAN. Or, just happened today: ftp is generally blocked. I then had to switch to Chromium to get a file. Or: if on Linux, many video codecs are not by default bundled. Reasons like that make me hate Firefox. But I hate everything else a bit more.

So is there a browser based on Firefox but without strict configs?

Firefox kind of sucks in android though and there are no good forks imo, but this is also true for chromium so idk what to do.

It's getting more and more like chrome.

Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons.

Also built in spyware and a LOT of snitching to a 3rd party analytics company that can be disable in flags.

If you're serious about privacy use LibreWolf or Ungoogled Chromium if you're reasons that required the Chromium dev tools.
