Chrome is popular because of inertia. I was a huge Mozilla fan for years, until it became unusable. Chrome was the only choice and noticeably more performant. Since then, there hasn’t been sufficient reason to redirect that inertia. Yes, that was quite a few years ago. Lots of inertia

Chrome does suck regarding privacy.
But the article shared here is basically an ad for Firefox.

I love Firefox, been ride or die since I started. Chrome is just pure Spyware.

FF has been my daily driver... longer than I can remember on essentially anything that can handle a browser. It's powerfull, feature rich, extensible, etc. But it does tend gain weight between major overhauls.
Out of curiosity, being a Linux user, I installed Chromium not 2 weeks ago and the thing is fast. It outperforms Firefox on my aging machine by far. And I was actually surprised. Yes, I do have the ghost of Google just waiting to sink its fangs in me, which I dislike, but I really have to admit the browser is fast, light and easy to approach for new users.
Will I let go of FF? Not really but Chromium did manage to get my attention.

Been a proud Firefox user for a long time. Never switched to Chrome, don't plan to.
Was using Brave and after reading things about it here, just switched back to Firefox!

At least the guys at Tumblr are promoting Firefox through femboy and furry memes.
