Tree Style Tab

And lack of (what I would consider) a good alternatives.

Was originally an Opera user (before they switched away from Presto), then switched to Firefox afterwards.

Firefox was my pick because it was good enough and extremely customizable.

Because brain.

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

Because I used the old mozilla browser back in the 90s and when it switched to calling firefox I kept on using it.

It's a great web browser and it represents the very concepts of choice and freedom. Chrome isn't better at all, I really only used it because the extension availability felt higher for a while.

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

Years ago it was the only customizable browser, that's why I started using it. Today it still is the most customizable one, even though other browsers started supporting add-ons and themes too.

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

It was my first browser so I stuck with it. I tried other browsers over the years, but I am used to firefox stuff, and ublock works better there.

I'm not sure if using Librewolf on desktop or Mull on mobile counts but they are pretty good hardened forks of Firefox.

Firefox is great but the downside is that it isn't as private as browsers I've mentioned by default. Still, it is solid choice from privacy perspective.

I was a big Netscape fan and when Firefox came out, I adopted it pretty soon. Never left it as I never quite get the hang of Chrome.

My FFFL Tatoo is gonna be so rad.

Have you ever used it's DevTools? Chrome DevTools feels outdated in comparison

Like the logo and it works as well as the alternatives

I use Firefox because I really like the containers extension that makes sure each tab is its own environment to prevent cross contamination of cookies etc. Also, I can rest assured that ublock origin is working as intended by the author since it is primarily targeted toward Firefox these days I think.

Sadly I had to stop using Firefox on my gaming Windows box because for whatever reason my Firefox install seems to gobble up all of my GPU memory. It's working fine on Mac and Linux though.

On top of what everyone else said: I REALLY hate the UI design of Chrome. We just don’t get along. Firefox always worked well for me.

Before Google started being openly evil and Firefox was pretty slow by comparison, I kept using Firefox for 2 reasons: mobile add-ons and the "Container Tabs" addon which doesn't (or at least didn't) have a chome analog. Now I've degoogled and also it seems faster in those occasions when I have to use chrome at work.

Extension support/customization.

I used Firefox on the desktop since it was called Firebird. I could mix and match and mush all sorts of crazy things into it over the years. I was very happy with it.

Then Australis (sp?) changed everything on the desktop and broke all my extensions. Some still worked, but since the goal was "be Chrome" I just switched to that.

On mobile it was a similar experience. I could add all sorts of extensions and then one day I just couldn't. All the browsers were basically the same so I switched to Chrome.

One day Chrome added the ability to have the URL bar on the bottom and I was so pleased. Then one day they took it away. I looked online how to get it back and discovered Firefox could do it. Then I learned that as long as I used Firefox Nightly I could install extensions. (I think you can do this in stable now?) Then I learned about a handful of other useful customizations.

I use Firefox mainly. I use Chrome sometimes if I'm testing something, mostly to test "Did I fuck up with my constant customization in Firefox or is this website just stupid?"

I use Firefox because it (generally) let's me decide how it should work.

Privacy primarily and less likely to be targeted for widespread attack because there's a fraction of the user base Chrome enjoys.

Back in the days when Netscape Navigator went down, I switched to then-new Firefox.

I have had no reason to not use it. With mods Firefox even allows me to keep the UI looking exactly the same as it did with version 3.x, where everything is just where I want it to be.

Change just for the sake of change is pointless.

It’s not Chrome or a Chromium-based browser.

• Privacy, security, speed.
• Google has enough of my data and I want to diversify.
• Chrome and Edge are pigs full of feature bloat.

I just don't like monopolies, and right now everything else is chrome
