What's stopping you? I use both browsers and I see no reason why someone would pick Chrome over Firefox at this point in time.

While the reasons someone would pick Firefox:

  - Privacy
  - Tree style tabs

- uBo works better in firefox https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

Not just better, it will only work in Firefox soon .

Ad blockers will stop working on Chrome based browsers with Manifest V2 being dropped starting next week.

All Chromimum based browsers are in the same boat, Ad blocking will be severely degraded after Manifest V3 becomes the only option.

(Some) sites don't work on Firefox.

Sure it isn't frequent, but it is frequent enough that once a day or so I have to open chrome to do something.

Once a day? That’s huge. What sites? (I use Firefox daily for about the last year and haven’t had this kind of issue)

Seriously curious what sites those are, especially if it's not the same page every day. It literally never occurs to me (using Firefox again since 3-4 years) but I mostly browse dev-related websites.

One example I often run into: Plaid (the bank-linking company) doesn't work. Just hangs. Though I'll admit it's possible they fixed it. I've been trained to use Chrome when I have to interact with it.

I have the same problem. I certainly don't use Chrome daily, but do have to keep it around, typically for shopping checkout and a fair number of US government websites don't work on any browser but Chrome.

jlcpcb's site is often broken in firefox, sadly. i keep chrome around just for it.

Worked for me when I've used it in Firefox. What isn't working?

Try ordering a PCB or seeing the list of house parts for PCBA

Not sure where the list of parts is, but I've ordered PCBs using Firefox.

I used to as well, sometimes it works and sometimes nothing on the page is clickable. New FF profile does not help, chrome works every time and their support has told me many times "we only chrome support sir"

At least they're polite about it. :-)

Some government and hospital websites in Taiwan.

Some startup websites I applied to.

Payment portals are a big one. Non-stripe or PayPal. But even there, if it's a new window payment flow, there can be issues on Firefox.

I've been daily driving Firefox since quantum and up until 2012, but 2fa registration is still needlessly locked out on some sites (need to open up chromium to register the key)

https://business.apple.com simply throws an Unsupported Browser error when trying to visit from Firefox. Unfortunate, but it's another one of those "gotta do it for work" things I deal with.

ICYDK, do consider reporting on https://webcompat.com if you see them.

Have people never heard of Brave?

for now the seamless extension switching using Extensity. I am yet to find an extension on Firefox which can deliver this functionality.

No shortcut configuration.

I've been using Firefox since the days when it had the other name. Meanwhile, I use Floorp [1], which is based on Firefox, but offers much more possibilities for customization. I am very satisfied, except for the stupid name...

[1]: https://floorp.app/en/

Not to be a stickler, but just a note it no longer counts as FOSS or even open source I believe, with their new licence: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp-private-components...

It’s left a bad taste in my mouth since they used the work of others to get to where they are, then when others do the same, they don’t like it.

I've been using Firefox since Chrome forced users to sign in to the browser with their Google account, and I'm quite happy.

The only time it's a problem is when a site detects Firefox and won't display unlocked your using chrome or IE. I've only seen that a couple of times in the years since I switched back

Even in that case,there are Firefox extensions to change your user agent. Suddenly the app requesting Chrome/Edge works perfectly, even though we are running in Firefox.

How did Chrome force you to log in? I've been using it signed out for the longest time.

Back in 2018, Chrome released an update that automatically logged users into the browser if they'd logged into a google. It was done silently and automatically, and it was a pain to log out of. They faced a ton of backlash (https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-faces-privacy-backlash-ove...) and rolled the feature back, but that was the tipping point for me. I've been a happy Firefox user since

Go for Firefox and keep ungoogled-chromium[0] for those sites that refuses to work properly on non-Chromium browsers.

I have used both for many years, and now, I see little difference in practice. I am leaning more towards Firefox these days. Main change is that I now use Firefox as my main mobile browser for ad blocking reasons. A few websites don't work on Firefox, I use Chrome for these few.

I don't consider it a problem to use two browsers at the same time, I usually don't to the same thing with them, so having separate profiles can be an advantage.

Note that privacy is not the reason why I am using Firefox. It is just that I think that knowing both is a good thing, and they are both good browsers, so why not? In some case, Firefox is better, in others Chrome is better, most of the times, they are interchangeable.

Firefox is better than Chrome [in the privacy aspect]... but still pretty terrible.

It sends a lot of "analytics" and "tracking" to some of Mozilla's servers, but if you inspect the requests, those servers are actually behind Google's CDN,and Google does the TLS termination.

So... Google has access too all the data that Mozilla sends when it phones home. Some of it even has a unique identifying id.

… just considering?!? What is it gonna take
