[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1119458, member: 78686"] What you said here is valid indeed. I like Firefox but using Edge at the moment. I think excluding most of the psycho fanboys in the Firefox subreddit, everyone knows that overall Chromium is definitely a better browser engine on both desktop and smartphones. But Firefox has some advantages like how it gives user the ability to customize so many things about to suit it to their liking both in terms of settings and looks. Firefox also has better image rendering for downscaled images (not so important). With MV2 being phased out, now it also has the advantage of adblockers and most people who switched to it lately is for this reason alone. Privacy minded people were already using it or some other browsers. But Chromium browsers are better at most other things like speed, performance, CPU-Ram-GPU-Disk usage, even some extra APIs to make website prettier. People should use whichever browser they prefer based on their requirements. Too many arguments on this are not necessary. About Chromium's bug bounty program here's a news on how much they spent on it in 2024. I don't think Firefox can compete with this.
