• 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.

How is it for mobile though? All of my web interaction is through my android

Moved from Netscape to Firefox and never used IE or Chrome. I never understood the obsession with anything made by Google, glad its going to finally all fall apart for them.

There was a tiny window of time back before like 2010 where Google was legitimately a good choice. At the time Chrome came out, Firefox was having some notorious performance/bloat issues, and conversely Chrome was light and fast. Lots of stuff that came out around 2000-2010 from Google was legit best in class, and they were still generally in their "don't be evil era." That's obviously gone way out the window and has for some time. I started switching away from Google stuff around the time they killed Reader, and I'm glad I did because they've only gotten increasingly awful.

Nothing is falling apart for them. Do you remember IE times? "Everyone" hated it, "everyone" used it just to install Chrome/Firefox/whatever on new devices. And yet - the vast majority never even thought of using anything else.

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
