If only Firefox wasn’t so slow and such a terrible developer experience. Oh, and my bosses don’t give a fuck about Firefox so I’d have to retest in Chrome/Safari anyways.
Lastly Mozilla sucks. Like wtf are they doing over there? They put all their effort into shitty product they kill faster than Google does. Then they turn around and half-ass their browser while taking money from Google to make it the default search. Mozilla sucks and Firefox leaves a lot to be desired.
Firefox is no less slower than chrome to me, imho. At least it doesn’t struggle as much. Chrome with 20 tabs lags while firefox works. Maybe there’s something in your extensions that’s causing slowdowns?
@Frostwolf I switched to Firefox a few years ago. Using Google Chrome on a low end Windows 10 laptop was a nightmare.
The me from 6months back would be onboard with this idea, I don't really recommend firefox anymore.
It's a bloated mess run by a very questionable corp. I had to move to PaleMoon, it's the only acceptable browser for me now.

How to choose a browser for your daily use?
Firefox is alright, it served me adequately after Opera got sold off, but Vivaldi is so much better.
Even though it's based on a fork of chromium Vivaldi has an extremely strong focus on innovation as well as privacy, they've commited themselves to working around Mv3 for instance and their in-built ad-blocker is absolutely top notch but you can also install uBlock Origin to work with it in tandem on their desktop browser if you want.
And even though it's extremely feature rich, with speed dial, ad-blocker, password vault and side bar being some of their out of the box features all their power user functions are opt in through the settings where you can choose to stack your tabs vertically or enable mouse gestures (couldn't live without these) and a whole bunch more, it really offers everything you could think of and probably a whole bunch more.
I have been a loyal Firefox users for years but I would lie if I didn't say I get tired of websites not working.
On a Windows machine absolutely. On MacOS, why not trust safari? The battery management for Safari is fantastic.
I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can't let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It's an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users' hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.
