I was using Mozilla in order to not use Internet Explorer and at some point I switched to their new browser when it was still called Firebird.

Nowadays I stick to it just so Google doesn't get a browser monopoly.

My FFFL Tatoo is gonna be so rad.

Because Microsoft and google are abysmal companies.I don't trust either of them (he typed, on an android phone - at least its been ROMmed)

That's a hard question.

I want Firefox to be better. I've gone back to it many times in 20 years. I'm using it right now.

But I tend to always leave at some point due to performance issues that I can never resolve. I'm having a good run at the moment with the worst of it being a random lockup I can't seem to figure out the cause of (and is pretty much just a task manager close, reopen, and resume...and infrequent enough to not really cause much headache)

But other times i've had memory leaks, or using most of the ram, or terrible addon management. I pretty much tried Chrome in the first place because back whenever Chrome came out, Firefox was using so much memory that I couldn't play games while Firefox was open, and multitasking is one of the things I've always taken as the reason to play games on PC over consoles.

All in all, I think it represents something better, but whether or not it is better is always up in the air. I just hope people stay hard on them to keep trying to improve the system, because i'm sure there's people far further on the fence than I am, and I think firefox is capable of just being a good browser.

I switched when they added tabs in version 1.5 (I think) and it's pretty much the only browser I've seriously used since.

On desktop because of multi account containers On Android I use Vivaldi

Because it's good

It's got all my addons.

I keep going back and forth between Chrome and Firefox. Maybe it's because of the couple years I spent working with the Chromebook team, but I always go back to Chrome like a drug. I know it's bad for privacy and the add stuff is certainly not cool but I just can't get pulled away from it. Its all about what you're used to.

Idk really. At work I prefer chrome behaviour more. Also the spellcheck is better.
At home I prefer firefox more. Probably more because I like the addon feature like Dark reader and ublock on Firefox mobile.

I used to for many years and recently moved to Arc. It’s a totally different experience of browsing the internet and workspace management, however I’d like to go back to Firefox if it’s possible to tweak it as much as possible to Arc.

Because Chrome stuffed up my task bar icons one time too many. (eg two Gmail icons, once for each account - randomly start working as bookmarks instead of their own window.) Fixing that takes many attempts

Firefox can't do this at all, but an extension fixed that.

bottom navigation is a godsend these days as phone screens are 7". Also adblocker.

Because Lemmy told me to

Absolutely. I only use chrome for d&d stuff because some specific formatting gets screwed up on Firefox.

I'm happy with Brave for the most part but an update with Webview or something broke all browsers using it on my Android Dash unit so I was actually forced to switch to Firefox simply because it works. Now I'm considering switching over on all my devices.

Because old habits die hard.

It has good add-ons be I give enough of my data to Google.

Guess.

Because Brave didn't allow add-ons when I tried it. This was years ago so no idea what it's like now

Tried to download a bank statement the other day and Chrome marked it as malware. Also happened with my Internet bill. I'm done with Chrome

I somehow just always followed since Netscape Navigator.

I don't actually remember when I started using it. I remember using Netscape and then Firefox, but there had to be another browser in there. Maybe it was IE. I don't remember it sucking too bad back in the day.
