With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I wish FF would natively support text replacement in macOS. This shouldn’t need an extension to accomplish a pretty basic thing.

I think i've only ever used Firefox since i got the internet (2009), but that also makes my reccomendation kinda moot because i haven't used any other browser. How can i say that Firefox is better than Chrome if i've never used Chrome?

Another side effect is that i'm well aware of all the issues Firefox has, since it's all i've ever used, all the browser issues i've had were in Firefox.

I used to play around with a lot of internet browsers and executed on top of that scripts in greasemonkey, add-ons, plug-ins, ... . But the trustworthiness of these things were not clear for me anymore. So now I'm at using Edge Chromium. Better the devil you know 🙂

Opera cons notwithstanding, Opera One is really nice as a browser.

Firefox itself has some UI quirks that can cause a bit of friction.

Chrome always feels like it just works, but I rely on Google's ecosystem frequently.

I switched back when I was in college - which is strange because it came out one year after I left. I also remember having to take a class on how to use Google in my first year of college - which gives you a hint how long ago it was.

Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 to be enabled. With this, Microsoft and Chrome have built a complete end to end DRM to the BIOS and hardware level.

This gives the end users nothing but is wonderful for Hollywood.
