* sync of tabs and passwords across devices __that always works__
* multi account containers
* better implementation of standards than chrome (i swear to god chrome date pickers...)
* cool privacy features like blocking facebook properties, email relays, etc
* smaller memory footprint than competitors
to your point about things being worse than they were 10 years ago, in part i agree. the web as a whole has gotten much more bloated and frustrating than it was a decade ago. pages take gobs of bandwidth and memory, everything is in a walled garden or infected with facebook's tentacles. in terms of experience, imo it's really hard to separate the browser from the browsed because the end result is that the experience of using the web in 2024 is downright unpleasant, where it wasn't really before, but i just don't see that as mozilla's fault. i think without mozilla it would be even worse, and it can always get worse...
