good privacy

I like the old icon, and Google shot itself in the foot with the anti-adblock stuff.

It's the best

It has a cool logo

I don't like Chromium, on mobile it has extension support.

Because it works, because I can use ublock on mobile (and a few other cool extensions), and most importantly, because I feel good about using it.

I have Vivaldi installed in case i need a chromium browser but I rarely ever need it.

It's the right balance between privacy and usability. Chrome or Edge is a no-go. Librewolf sound nice, but out of the box it's a little too private (refuses to save any state between sessions) making it too inconvenient.

Doing my bit to support the open web. Plus, while it's probably just familiarity, I've always felt that Firefox works with me while Chrome works against me.

It’s the default browser on my computer, and it doesn’t suck, so I’m not motivated to seek an alternative.

It's the only viable browser engine that isn't chromium-based. And it's open source and very functional.

I like Lynx

Who's asking?

The developer tools are top notch. Chrome is slower and sucks.

I've been using FF for years now, probably since the quantum update. Tbh, the thing that prevented me to switch to any other browser since is the ctrl+tab functionality. I HATE cycling through tabs in any other order than by most recent tab. I didn't find a setting to change it on chrome when I was forced to use it for work, but in FF it's easily found in the settings and probably was on by default at some point as I don't recall ever changing it.

In recent years the privacy aspect and the fact that it isn't made by google have also played a role in why I've stuck with firefox. Also extension support on android, although the browser is still a bit slower than chrome on mobile.

It's a good compromise of everything I care about regarding a digital product.

I dont like Chrome have so big market share. Also it is making less dumb desions for me, you can actually disable stuff I dont like.

I use WaterFox.

It has less tracking and more built-in privacy features than Firefox but is built on the same base

I use Fennec on mobile.

Best non-chromium browser. More customisable.

Not Chromium, Extremely customizable and configurable, and add-on support on mobile, to name a few reasons.

I use it to protest Google's bullshit, but I still acknowledge all problems Firefox has and that all in all, Chromium is superior in many ways

Because the only thing it doesn't have that I miss from edge is the vertical tabs, otherwise its just better in every way that matter to me.

And before someone mentions it, I am aware there are vertical tab options, but none of them are the close enough.

To be honest, because it was pre-installed in Linux Mint. I got a first laptop, and I didn't know differences between Windows and GNU+Linux. Hell, I was searching for "pure Linux". I didn't know that's just kernel, neither what kernel is anyway. And I just decided for Mint. At the time, I considered Windows "just another distribution or whatever".

I did get to briefly use school computers before that. There I preferred internet explorer over both Chrome and Firefox. Yeah. Chrome kept crashing, Firefox didn't load many pages (it was probably well outdated) but IE just worked, much faster than Chrome, somehow.

against google/chromium monopoly.

Because I like it the best

I use Firefox because Internet Explorer 4 kind of sucks, and I haven't re-assessed my browser choice since then.

There are no other options.

I hope ladybird will become usable in few years.

it's either that or something chromium-based

i mostly degoogled years ago

firefox just works most of the time. still have chromium installed for edge cases

Primarily because I've been using it for much longer than Chrome has been a thing so I'm used to it. But Google's shenanigans are also a factor.

Containers addon. And it has bookmarks decades old. Remove both and I wouldn't care much. I'm also more familiar with it. It feels more natural due to this. I feel more comfortable on it. More at home, less scared.

Honestly, even though I want to say it's for security or something, I use Firefox because of habit. Ive used it ever since I got my first PC over a decade ago and don't remember the reason I switched in the first place.

Honestly I'm just used to it. Using it now for probably about two decades.

It works great with Wayland and I switched to Firefox mobile as well.

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