• 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.

Just because Google broke the most trafficked site on the internet for Firefox doesn't mean its a bad browser. Hell that's a ringing endorsement.

I still don't see that they broke FF specifically, they're fighting back against adblockers, including the ones in browsers like brave.

They added a literal sleep(5000) to the javascript for youtube accessed via firefox.

        Hasn't been happening on my Firefox
There have been reports on other browsers as well, so this isn't a firefox specific issue (p sure I've seen some people that use chrome claim they had this issue)

Also, 3. That was meant to target ad blockers, not Firefox users
