Because it’s privacy focused. Also because it’s not based on Chromium. It’s the only one keeping us from having a Google browser monopoly

I’ve been using it for years, first out of disdain for Internet Explorer, now out of disdain for Google Chrome. I just do not trust the corpos at all, and Firefox has always been solid(outside of a few years in the '10s).

Because it’s one of the last few browsers that’s usable and not based on Chrome/Chromium

Becuase the other browsers suck.

good balance of functionality and privacy. keeps my tabs synced between mobile and desktop. that’s…that’s about it.

• Open source
• Reasonably privacy respecting (could be better OOB)
• Extensions that further enhance privacy and remove unwanted annoyances from pages
• Cool logo

Because it’s not actively trying to make ad-blockers not work like Chrome.

It’s a great OSS browser. There should be at least one alternative rendering engine to Googles Chromium.

Because I like it, it ain’t Google and it looks great on my gnome desktop.

Coolest logo

Because it’s extensions have so much more access to the software. Privacy is easy. The biggest of all is Temporary containers. That extension is a godsend for developers. Also, chromium is shit.

To stay away from the influence of google’s business practices and their influence on chromium.

Because I enjoy freedom and privacy

Chrome did something that annoyed me a couple of years ago. I can’t even remember what it did. I just remember going “you have annoyed me for the final time! I’m replacing you with Firefox!” I wish I could say it was because Google is evil, but it may well have been something far more petty.

It’s just… always been my main browser.
