• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

Switched back in the summer for good. Use Firefox in my android as the default browser with DuckDuckGo as search engine. The issue is still relying on the android digital hemisphere as the default OS for my phone.

Edit : The only thing lacking is tab management. I know there is an extension. But it doesn't satisfy.

Tab management is my main reason why I don't switch to Firefox. No, I don't want a whole new window with my tabs, I want them to be collapsible and grouped in the same window.

That's my main issue and keeps me from using it.

Mozilla Foundation fronts Mozilla Corporation which is for-profit and brings in nearly a Billion in revenue.

Don't donate, do harden it.

That's just us with our super fun kbin shenans! It's a Firefox logo everywhere else.

Edit: It's a pic of some food for us on kbin.

One big positive for me on Chrome is that I have an Android phone, so a lot of my activity on my phone and computer sync together. How is Firefox with this, if I were to use it both on my desktop and phone?
