Without it Chromium, and Google, would have a monopoly basically. Microsoft's new browser Edge is based on Chromium for example. Firefox comes with tracking protection built in and it's great for privacy. It's anti fingerprinting stuff that it got from Tor for example. Firefox on Android supports extensions so you can use uBlock Origin (adblocker). These are just some examples. What do you use?
I was on chrome for a long time and gradually made the switch, now I only use it for logging into my google accounts so I don't pollute my Firefox sessions with them. Been really happy with it so far, i was dragging my feet forever about it
Oh nice nice nice, that's just what i needed thanks Pirate!
That also just jogged my memory of a security tip from Swift On Security to setup the first profile as an unused one and actually use the second/third/etc one for your main ones since a lot of scripts just check the first one. Not sure how up to date that is relative to where Firefox is now though

I use Chrome because it's what I've used for years and it's convenient. I guess I'd be open to switching, I just never gave it much thought.

This is a really nice write up on why I should switch. I'll install Firefox tonight. Thank you!

You can use Containers on Firefox for that... it's like having different profiles/browsers.

I haven't actually heard about that before.
