Why don't people give Firefox a chance ?
Sure google properties don't work on it but that is because google broke them. A simple useragent often fixes it. The point is, people need to start using it or else accept the monopoly of chrome and not complain when they implement user hostile tech.
I get the whole promoted stuff Mozilla has been doing, I just ignore it and carry on. I have unlock origin and pihole to cover for me. Many people use nextdns or whatever and that works great too.
Because Mozilla has proven time and again to be a false friend to the foss community. Look at thunderbird and xul, not to mention the fact that they basically ended up copying chromium..
They maintain a more optimized adblocker, fingerprinting protection, integrate the ungoogled-chromium patches without breaking the Chrome extension store nor Widevine, and they offer native IPFS integration.
I disable all the crypto integration and use it because it's precisely "chromium without google services but still usable", all while remaining open source and focusing on privacy, something that Edge, Vivaldi and Opera do not.
I just use different browsers for different things. Firefox for most things; it's the fastest. Chrome for anything Google related. Edge for PDFs and my Hotmail account.
I used to use Chrome for Google stuff, but recently I found the Multi-Account Containers Firefox extension. Works really well for splitting up a work profile, accounts tied to your real identity, and casual web browsing.
Sometimes you have to use what you are provided by the company where you work. IT departments can have strict rules any policies what you can run on your computer or not.
