    The best time to switch to Firefox was 19 years ago when it first came into existence. The 2nd best time is now.

    Switched back in the summer for good. Use Firefox in my android as the default browser with DuckDuckGo as search engine. The issue is still relying on the android digital hemisphere as the default OS for my phone.

    Edit : The only thing lacking is tab management. I know there is an extension. But it doesn’t satisfy.

    Personally I’ve never left Firefox. Used to develop on it when it was still called Mozilla, and I’m happy it’s still around. Privacy is a major strength of it compared to other browsers.

    I’ve been using Firefox on desktop and mobile exclusively for a number of years now. I will say the experience isn’t perfect but it’s better than using a browser made by a company that is actively hostile to its users.

    It is important to take note that you will experience issues with some websites. For example, https://astro.build/ Try scrolling quickly up and down on this page on Firefox vs Chrome (on mobile).

    Also built in spyware and a LOT of snitching to a 3rd party analytics company that can be disable in flags.

    If you’re serious about privacy use LibreWolf or Ungoogled Chromium if you’re reasons that required the Chromium dev tools.
