    I do agree Chrome was the better browser, hell I switched to it primarily after a few years because of how much faster it was.

    I don’t really think that’s the case anymore though, Chrome has been enshittifying for years now, and in my experience, they’re pretty on-par, except of course I can use extensions without the impending doom spectre on Firefox and on mobile.

      Exactly. I also swapped, it was just so much better back then.

      I use Firefox now, but they don’t seem to know what they want to do with it. Speed wise it’s fast, it’s more private, it has good extension support. I think they could have leaned into features like Firefox Send, added a P2P mode, people would have used a built-in file sharing thing with good support to it. Pocket was nice, maybe they could have evolved it some way.

      They just never really tried to give the browser an identity I feel like.

      “Why would I swap to Firefox?” All I can say is, it’s more private (after toggling settings off, ugh). Most don’t care about consolidation of the web to one engine.
