- Mozilla’s goals for the web line up quite nicely with my own.
- The performance is good for what I want.
- The extension API is more powerful than Chrome’s.
- Outside of the Apple ecosystem, it’s the last major alternative to the Chrome skins.
- It isn’t actively trying to cripple adblockers.
Is not chromium, has a good UI, supports manifest v2, is open source and have native support for autoscrolling on linux
It also supports MV3 without removing the blocking WebRequest hook.
There are other reasons, but if I had to point only one word: containers.
Supports extensions on mobile
- It’s faster
- It’s not chromium-based
- It can protect you from trackers and block ads
- Chrome may terminates Adblock-functionality extensions in Manifest V3 and Firefox wouldn’t, afaik
Ad blocking on desktop and mobile is awesome.
And it’s vital to have multiple browser engines in the wild for interoperability. If we go all Chromium-based, we’re going to eventually pay for that like IE6.
And Google is kind of an untrustworthy POS of a company these days.
The mobile version has addons like ublock-origin and bottom search bar. Plus, Chrome wants you to enjoy the web, which is full of ads. I don’t, that’s why.
Because it has tabs. Seriously, I first used Firefox back when IE6 was the norm, and Firefox brought tabs and better standard compliance. Haven’t turned my back since.
Because it is fucking awesome.
Plus on mobile, I likes my ublock, dark reader, etc.

It’s got a cool fox logo
Because I hate ads.
I have been with Firefox, since it’s inception. Never left it. And it never let me down.
Because I like having RAM to spare
One browser ruled by google is not good for anyone.
