• 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.

    The best time to switch to Firefox was 19 years ago when it first came into existence. The 2nd best time is now.

    Tree. Style. Tabs.

    Best damned extension ever. It’s amazing to me that all browsers don’t have this style of tabs.

      Thanks for the recommendation. I need to organize my 100+ tabs.

    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.

      Personally I’d rather stop using any Google services, than handing them a Chrome monopoly. Google is already way to dominant IMO.

      I deeply regret leaving.

      Growing up, I used Firefox on PC, but switched to Chrome early 2010s due to using a lot of google products for university work, and the general “google is cool” vibe that surrounded me from peers (tech/business student).

      Now after a decade, I’m deeply entrenched in Google with bookmarks, passwords and habits. Only progress I made is switching to iOS from Android. Installed Ff on mobile, but didn’t really like the experience, so not really using it.

      Will probably try to make a stronger push to invest some time and switch completely during Xmas break, as it does bother me to be part of the problem, though I hate how convenient not doing anything about it is.
