Because sometimes I need to use Not Safari, and the alternatives are too awful to consider.

Guess.
Pornhub loads videos slightly quicker (not from personal experience)? I dunno
Writing Firefox extensions sucked.
I haven't tried web extensions.
Am a masochist and like to do things in spite others. I've been working through browser wars as a developer and hated every minute of adapting things to look good on IE. These days I really dislike Firefox. Mainly because they pretend things work fine and need no optimization or for being set in their ways. Took them embarrassingly long time to implement adwaita theme or Wayland and just told us to use other display server.
But I keep using it because I don't want Google to be this dominant. Giving them more power is always going to end worse for users. So as before am suffering again. Oh well.
For those claiming everything is still fine...
Its the default on my Linux distro
Its not Google
Whatβs the alternative if you try to avoid google?
For the price of mild inconvenience in some cases I get to add a tiny little bit of resistance against chromium monopolistic rule.
The desktop browser was better than IE back in the days and I like how they market/position themselves. Nowadays I switch between Chrome and Firefox just to have different containers (private and work), and yes I know this is also somewhat native supported in Firefox.. but it still felt unintuitive to me.
I recently started using Firefox on Android because of the new privacy sandbox strategy (which I'm not against per se, I don't know all the details yet though), but I must say.. it feels a bit buggy and seems to suffer from input lag. Too bad, the desktop experience is flawless.
So is there like a Firefox equivalent to ChromeOS? Wikipedia mentions a few discontinued projects by companies but that's it. I still like the concept of a really minimal device that outsources storage and heavy computation (probably to a server I also own).
