It was my first browser. I used IE to download it.

When I changed computers I did use Chrome for a bit. Then Vivaldi because it was better to me (I liked the split window browsing)

Saw mention that Chrome and all related browsers were about to kill adblockers. Returned home to Firefox immediately.

I don’t feel a need to change right now, but have heard of Waterfox and Librewolf as potential forks. They’re in my mind if I ever feel the need.

Originally (more than a decennia ago) because it had better customizability, later because it was less memory hungry.

For the price of mild inconvenience in some cases I get to add a tiny little bit of resistance against chromium monopolistic rule.

Add-ons on mobile. Plus, Chrome is slowly but surely gimping their ad-blocking extensions.

Because fuck Chromium

I use Firefox when I suspect a site isn’t working well with Librewolf. This also implies the site didn’t work for Qutebrowser previously

It’s FOSS, respects my privacy, doesn’t try to kill my adblock and it’s the only option that doesn’t support a big evil monopoly

Because at the time I started using it, it was still Mozilla and the other alternative was Internet Explorer, the browser from Microsoft - the Evil Empire of that time - which was riddled with security holes (the whole ActiveX stuff, especially, was a complete total mess).

Later Chrome became more fashionable but to me it was already obvious that Google’s “Do No Evil” slogal was complete total bollocks (plus it came out in the Snowden revelations how Google was used for civil society surveillance, plus by then they had become mainly an Ad Company with a search engine, hence anti-privacy) and I wasn’t about to trust what already back then looked like the up and coming New Evil Empire with access to my computer and browsing habits.

Mind you, I did use Chrome on my Android devices, but that was because I expected the OS itself to be rigged like crazy for privacy intrusion and worse so avoiding Chrome there did very little to reduce my privacy exposure in there, though eventually I moved to Firefox there too.

it’s the best mobile browser with bottom address bar

It is the only one that can hold my hundreds of tabs. It’s also ooensource, but that’s a bonus. Recently addblocker is a very good feature too.

It’s a great web browser and it represents the very concepts of choice and freedom. Chrome isn’t better at all, I really only used it because the extension availability felt higher for a while.

Container tabs and built in tracking protection by default. Mozilla is not Google, unfortunately they depend on their money to survive. Fuck Google.
