  • Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
  • Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
  • Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.

Me: “Import bookmarks from another browser”

But… there were some valid criticisms under the comments section of popular FireFox posts in subreddits like r/Technology. The gist was lot of the areas of FireFox (including the interface elements) are archaic failing to even recognise simple features like Safari’s Reader List to incorporate or to listen directly from the community and the urge to modernise FireFox itself like Chromium.
