#2Firefox is so good.
It's a continual source of amazement for me that a majority of HNers are using a browser made by the largest data gobbler in the world, instead of one that actually tries to prevent spying on users.

I used chrome from 2008 to about 2013. At the time Chrome was fast and their macOS experience was amazing. But you could tell that Google was focusing more and more on integrations and services and less on the browsing experience.

Google websites work better on chrome. Not sure if it’s because google is doing something nefarious or if Firefox is just not keeping up with google website technologies.
So, I’ve trained my brain to use chrome as an app only for google websites. When I need to check gmail or YouTube or google calendar, I use chrome. Otherwise I’m on Firefox or safari.
It’s worked pretty well. I found I was only really unhappy with Firefox when using google websites. No longer a problem.

I haven't noticed it to be slower, but I'd accept slower for the privacy benefits.

Lot of ‘Do as I say, not as I do’.

I use Gmail, YouTube, Calendar and Sheets through Firefox and never noticed a difference. What's not as good?
