There’s like… no downside: all upside.

Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.

Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.

But there should be no downside. It's all artificial.

The big services purposely degrade their sites when users connect with Firefox. It's well documented.

Unfortunately nothing is being done about it so far.
