As a forever Firefox person myself, I have always advised people seeking browser advice to give Firefox a try. For very close ones, I might have gone ahead and migrated their data. Pretty much none ever seemed to notice the differences because the UX is about the same at this point.<p>But with Google handing out death to the open web with a thousand cuts - latest being the WEI proposal, Manifest v3, FLoC, dreaded and forced AMP; I feel curious if you still use Chrome and recommend it to non techies?<p>If yes, please elaborate on the love - it would be a good exercise in building patience for me :)
If not, what was the tipping point?
I've always used Firefox, and I tell friends to use it.<p>Mostly because Firefox has killer features like keyword bookmarks and search keywords, and once you've set up a few it's really hard to live without them. (Even if you could recreate them all in another browser.) Plus: it's not owned by Google. It's from the open source community. It traces its lineage back to Netscape.<p>Someone on HN once suggested using multiple browsers - so for sites you log into, there's one dedicated browser, but general web surfing happens in a separate browser (which makes it harder to track).
