I still can't get used to Dev Tools in Firefox, even though they might be superior to Chrome's.

I don't think they are. Slower and more unstable. I'm using Edge for developing.

Thankfully, I've been about Firefox since 2006. People can use what they like, but it does ache me inside seeing someone use Chrome, logged in with the yellow "Update" icon at the top right, an unholy trinity.

What if I told you I always used Firefox... ?
I never switched to Chrome. I didn't do it when it first came out and people were shitting their pants in excitement. I didn't use chrome in the middle of the 2010s when no one even knew about Firefox. I still don't use it. I never switched from Firefox.

Sigh. I really don't want to put in an official bug report for it but the #1 reason I don't exclusively use Firefox is a bug involving some porn sites I occasionally visit. No clue why, but Chrome (and its variants) load the sites in a second or two and Firefox will take 3+ mins to load them. Haven't seen that behavior anywhere else but those sites.

I've been using brave these days. I really like it, I have it installed across all my devices.

Generally I keep running into a constant habit where the same extensions I use in chrome are having memory leaks or some crazy ram issue that just clogs firefox to death. Meanwhile I just don't have the time or patience to figure out and/or find alternatives to said extensions.
Then i'll switch back a few years later but it's been on and off. It's always Firefox becoming unusable with my workflow, which is just not easy to deal with.
I have been a loyal Firefox users for years but I would lie if I didn't say I get tired of websites not working.
