Because it's the only browser not based on Google's Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google's monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.
Edit: spelling
Because it's one of the only remaining browsers (the other one being Safari) that doesn't run on Chromium. We must protect FireFox and Safari with our lives because if they die out then Google has a monopoly on the browser space. Not something anyone wants... I mean look at their Manifest V3, and web DRM controversies. They are trying to ruin the web. Don't let them people!
Plus, I just like the ability to customize the toolbar, and FireFox Sync is just brilliant for syncing between mobile and desktop!
Can't have Google kill Firefox, if Firefox does it first. Every few years they (IMO) fuck something up that makes me want to move away, but there's no real alternative :/
I just don't want to support the monopoly.
Also Firefox has been so tempting since the new engine written in Rust came out. It has a wide range of supporting add-ons.
Add-ons, it’s not chromium, and also I CAN BLOCK AUTOPLAY VIDEOS on it
Been using it for 15 years or so. It was good back then, it's still good now. Chrome has never been an alternative for anyone who knows what Google is.
Doesn't wake up one day and decide to DRM the Web or kill the adblcker.
In the future, Google will create a chatbot doppelganger of you and use it to recommend products to your friends and family.
My wife says: we use firefox
And i cant think of a reason not to.. so of course ive installed Librewolf
It's the only viable browser engine that isn't chromium-based. And it's open source and very functional.
Don't think many. Also because writing a browser from scratch (and make it usable) is a very very complex task
