I’d largely like to agree. My main issue is as others have said, some websites don’t work on Firefox due to Chrome basically being the standard. It’s annoying. And I do think people should still switch and try their best to stop using Chrome. Because IF we could get to a point where Firefox has a larger audience than it already has, the problem may end up stopping due to developers having more of a need to make sure their stuff is cross compatible with other browsers.

Are you sure? Is there a list of these websites? I've been primarily using FF for a decade and haven't encountered any.

Same. Usually it's a case of "the site is broken on both", or a hard refresh is needed, so switching browsers feels like it works

I've had some map sites that just refuse to work on ff

I never had that issue, untill starting last week. Now Google Maps won't work, for some reason.

It worked for years before that, it's a recent thing, in my case at least. Makes me wonder what's going on.
