I started out with using it on the mobile, due to the add-ons being suported, but then Google starten messing around with chrome, announcing changes to the plugin api that would neuter Adblockers and now, the DRM for the web thingy, and I thought enough is enough.

Firefox still has its issues and Chrome does feel more polished, but I'm going with the good guys on this one.

Because best

Why not?

Desktop: Google done fucked up. I didnt use FF cause of one of my extensions but I opted out when they started talking about the DRM for webpages.
Mobile: Its just better with Adblock.

I like that LibreWolf automatically clears history upon closing.

It was the only real place for NoScript for a while and I haven't found a better whitelist add-on. A lot of it is inertia at this point. I avoid Google as much as possible anyway, so Chrome isn't an option.

The tree-style tabs extension

Because I need a browser.

Not Chromium, has custom CSS for the GUI, is open source software and it has a nice extension library

Also it's also a pretty good browser (right now I'm technically not using Firefox, but rather Librewolf, but still based on Firefox)

To counter a monopoly

Because Chrome kept crashing my GPU driver, and Firefox doesn't.

And I used Chrome in the first place because Firefox let malware onto my Windows XP PC. Chrome updated add-ons automatically at that time, and Firefox didn't (not extensions, we're talking things like Macromedia Flash, Shockwave and Java Applets that are long dead now).

1. It's FOSS
2. Manifest v3
3. AdBlocking extensions for my mobile too!!!
4. They created Rust my all time favourite programming language.

good privacy

Works good at browser

My wife says: we use firefox

And i cant think of a reason not to.. so of course ive installed Librewolf

I personally don't use Firefox as anything except a spare whenever a page doesn't load right in Vivaldi. Not only because I strongly dislike the way Mozilla itself is run (I'm not even going to get into their financial records) but also because of it's glacial development speed. Mozilla does pave the road in some ways with stuff like mobile extensions and an unprecedented amount privacy features. But it still takes them forever to do some of the most basic stuff. Still no native PWA's, Passkeys are still under development. It mildly feels understandable why people don't feel like testing with Firefox as much as they used to.

Even cutting Google's monopoly over the internet out of the equation, Firefox still doesn't feel that good. Sure, it might be the fastest browser on the market at the moment. But for a company being paid 450k for a search engine deal by the very thing that Firefox users hate, what gives with the amount of ads engrained in search and bookmarks, the occasional popups for Mozilla VPN/ FF Relay. And yes, I know you can turn them off, but it's ridiculous that a FOSS product even has them to begin with. Also how difficult it feels to be involved in the development of all Firefox products over on Mozilla Connect + Bugzilla + GitHub.

I have nothing against gecko based browsers, but until I see something truly stunning, I don't really want to bother. I know Librewolf exists and solves some of the problems with modern Firefox (also being even more hardened than Firefox), but given Librewolf is also a hobby project that deliberately doesn't accept donations nor even provide an auto update mechanism on macOS (the main system I use, in combination with my pixel devices), the bus factor is too strong for me to consider.

Because it appeals to furries.

Because I need to browse the web.

I switched from Netscape Navigator to Firefox and have used it since. Have tried other browsers but they can't compete.

Who's asking?

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

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

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

Many reasons, but the main one is being able to self-host the sync server. It's just crazy that the entire browsing history of most people on the internet is stored on Google servers, with no e2e encryption!

There are no other options.

I hope ladybird will become usable in few years.

Bottom tab bar, ublock origin.

I use Firefox when I suspect a site isn't working well with Librewolf. This also implies the site didn't work for Qutebrowser previously

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

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 brain.

Because I like it the best

My FFFL Tatoo is gonna be so rad.

Guess.

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.

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

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.
