With FF, Its easy to pass your threshold and come back using chrome. So, FF, by being so lazy and inefficient, kinda betrays all these people who advertise FF to others as privacy friendly browser.
Come back?
I've been using FF since before chrome was a thing. There's no "coming back" to chrome.
I only use chrome if absolutely necessary, which is incredibly rare.
I meant general user who seeks comfort experience. Chrome is beautiful, well and actively developed, thoughtful, and gives a smooth experience to user in compare to Firefox. Though, it's not good for privacy. The same case with all big techs products.
You can apply a chrome or Safari theme to Firefox, if its the looks you don't like.
This is only anecdotal, but I did go back (and stayed!) on Firefox due to the comfort and experience. When I use edge at work I miss a lot some features and usability of Firefox, very rarely I miss something of edge/chrome while on Firefox.
