    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).

      This was my excuse until recently. Now I enjoy Vivaldi. Turns out I need less extensions to enjoy this one! I’m so happy 😊

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
