1. Mozilla’s goals for the web line up quite nicely with my own.
2. The performance is good for what I want.
3. The extension API is more powerful than Chrome’s.
4. Outside of the Apple ecosystem, it’s the last major alternative to the Chrome skins.
5. It isn’t actively trying to cripple adblockers.

It’s not Chrome or Chromium derived. Google has incentives to mine me for data. Mozilla, not so much. I don’t trust Mozilla completely, but I certainly trust them more than Google to have my best interest at heart.

Is not chromium, has a good UI, supports manifest v2, is open source and have native support for autoscrolling on linux

There are other reasons, but if I had to point only one word: containers.

Switched to Chrome a few years back when Firefox killed XUL and bundled too much bloatware.

Now I’ve switched back to Firefox because it’s good again and Google is doing too many evil things lately (Web Integrity).

Supports extensions on mobile

Container tabs. No more need for separate chrome profiles.

Because it has tabs. Seriously, I first used Firefox back when IE6 was the norm, and Firefox brought tabs and better standard compliance. Haven’t turned my back since.

Because I like having RAM to spare

1. It’s faster
2. It’s not chromium-based
3. It can protect you from trackers and block ads
4. Chrome may terminates Adblock-functionality extensions in Manifest V3 and Firefox wouldn’t, afaik

One browser ruled by google is not good for anyone.

It’s got a cool fox logo

Ad blocking on desktop and mobile is awesome.

And it’s vital to have multiple browser engines in the wild for interoperability. If we go all Chromium-based, we’re going to eventually pay for that like IE6.

And Google is kind of an untrustworthy POS of a company these days.

I have been with Firefox, since it’s inception. Never left it. And it never let me down.
