The trick is, I never switched to chrome.

I went from IE to firefox back in 2009 or so and never had a reason to switch. Firefox is a nice browser.

Started using Firefox for all video related sites. Blocks ads in Paramount plus and others

Because ad blocker works. I basically only use chrome for Gmail now and work stuff. Eventually I'll use it for everything

I got so tired of the "update chrome because new zero day" articles so I removed chrome altogether from every computer I own except the work one because one specific vendor's schematics work in chrome and are broken in the other browsers. I haven't looked back and I don't think I will.

I've never enjoyed Firefox, don't know why but it's just never felt better for me. Whether it be looks or something else, dunno

or Edge which fully supports Manifest V2

...For now. Looks like they're going to get rid of it too (which makes sense, because they copy Chromium's codebase).
