Hope other browser developers realize chromium is a ticking time bomb. I’ve used firefox for over 15 years and see no reason to change with the current landscape of browsers being so reliant on google .
I’ve been using Firefox since it was called Phoenix. Mozilla, for all it’s flaws, has been our first and only line of defense for an open web for so long.
I think I started using it in the 1.x times. I remember all the flaws it’s had since. I’ve given lots of other browsers a try in the meantime but none come close to Firefox. They might be good enough for others but for power users Firefox is the way to go.
In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option

Seriously… I’ve never once strayed from Firefox since its release.
I’m forced to use chrome for work and it is crap.
I guess that using safari on iOS devices is one exception, and it isn’t too bad.

Damn… I think I came on a bit later than that. I don’t recognize the icon of Phoenix so I doubt I made the switch that early on!

Okay, but change to what then? All the other options are just Chrome, Safari, and Firefox again.

Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.

Seemingly my Google pixel phone has stopped connecting to the Internet with other browsers. So I’m stuck using Google Chrome on it. 😠
I have a pixel 5a and haven’t had that problem, currently using Fennec (firefox fork).
