    I switched to Firefox/Librewolf (with a brief stint on Vivaldi) last year and haven’t looked back.

      I’ve used nothing but Firefox on all desktops/laptops since 2004. I really don’t understand how or why anyone would switch away.

        Performance. Been switching on & off for the past several years, currently with Firefox with over a year.

        Because for the longest time Chrome smashed the stale arse Firefox out of the water in features and performance.

        Personally I found Opera the best, but that’s Chinese shovelware now.

          It really didn’t… Firefox has been neck and neck performance wise the entire time with a massive arsenal of extensions (and to be fair some of those extensions did negatively impact performance enough to scare people off) and I can’t think of a major feature Firefox didn’t have first or get soon after.

          Chrome largely just became a “speed meme” though among enthusiasts and had the backing from Google to win over IT teams.
