    Because it’s privacy focused. Also because it’s not based on Chromium. It’s the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly

    I’ve been using it for years, first out of disdain for Internet Explorer, now out of disdain for Google Chrome. I just do not trust the corpos at all, and Firefox has always been solid(outside of a few years in the '10s).

    Because it’s one of the last few browsers that’s usable and not based on Chrome/Chromium

    It’s a great OSS browser. There should be at least one alternative rendering engine to Googles Chromium.

    Because it’s extensions have so much more access to the software. Privacy is easy. The biggest of all is Temporary containers. That extension is a godsend for developers. Also, chromium is shit.

    Chrome did something that annoyed me a couple of years ago. I can’t even remember what it did. I just remember going “you have annoyed me for the final time! I’m replacing you with Firefox!” I wish I could say it was because Google is evil, but it may well have been something far more petty.
