I hated Firefox for the longest time, because it was a sub-par browser with a cult following, but since Chrome ruined any competition I went through several chrome-based browsers (never Chrome itself due to severe lack of basic functionality) and am slowly ending up with FF as my primary browser. My standards have lowered substantially, and firefox is just good enough. Always using more browsers and trying something…

Huh, I'm very happy with Firefox. Been using it, and Chrome, for several years now - I much prefer Firefox, but I'm kind of curious what you prefer about Chrome?

I don't prefer Chrome. Chrome is the worst, I only ever used it as a second browser for Google products.

> with a cult following I guess I'm in this cult. But one of the big reasons is what else is fighting the chromium monopoly? Safari? Just imo there's not too big of differences between browsers and people just exaggerate these differences.

This "cult" era I meant was before Chrome. Now that the dust settled (many years ago) after Google ruined everything we all should be using Firefox.

Would you mind saying what you would like to do but can't with FF? I don't think I'm part of a cult, but I've used FF as my default browser for over a decade and I guess I don't know what else people want from a browser.

I think firefox almost always could do a lot. But the out of the box experience was very lacking. Even now that I'm using it as a default browser I had to tinker with some settings, and still didn't get where I would want it. For example the tabbing experience definitely needs an extension, but I don't want one. But it's oh so much better than it used to be. Split stop/reload used to drive me crazy - just why?
