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

Becuase the other browsers suck.

• Open source
• Reasonably privacy respecting (could be better OOB)
• Extensions that further enhance privacy and remove unwanted annoyances from pages
• Cool logo

good balance of functionality and privacy. keeps my tabs synced between mobile and desktop. that’s…that’s about it.

Because it’s not actively trying to make ad-blockers not work like Chrome.

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

Because I like it, it ain’t Google and it looks great on my gnome desktop.

To stay away from the influence of google’s business practices and their influence on chromium.

Because I enjoy freedom and privacy

Coolest logo

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.

It’s just… always been my main browser.
