Questions like “Which browser should I use?” regularly come up on the r/browsers subreddit. I sometimes respond to these posts, but my quick replies usually only contain one or two points. To be honest, until recently I wasn’t even sure myself why I use Firefox. Of course it’s a pretty good browser, but that doesn’t explain why I’ve stubbornly stayed loyal to Firefox for more than a decade. After giving it a bit more thought, I came up with the following reasons.

I'm aware there are some more private options, but I feel like ff is enough and is important to keep user numbers up, because once Firefox goes the forks go too.

What wpuld those be if you don't mind me asking?

Not sure as I don't use them, but look up any browser suggestion thread on Lemmy, besides the chrome forks there's always a couple of suggestion for a more private FF

Waterfox and Librewold are both popular examples.
