    Because it’s not Chrome

    Because it’s open source

    Because I can get it on all my devices

    Because I like the work Mozilla does

    Because it’s private and secure by default

    Waaaaaaay better privacy, faster than chrome, don’t need to worry about them killing mandatory add ons so they can push ads, also the add ons just work better but maybe that’s confirmation bias.

    I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting

    Because it’s the only browser not based on Google’s Chromium rendering engine (Webview, WebKit? whatever). Using any other browser supports Google’s monopoly over how we browse the internet and what we are allowed to see. No, fuck Google.

    Edit: spelling

      Technically, WebKit is Apple’s rendering engine (Safari).

      Google uses Blink, which is a fork of WebKit, but is its own thing now.

      So, you can still use Safari without directly contributing to Google’s de facto rendering engine monopoly.
