I don't really understand why more people don't use Firefox. I've been using it almost exclusively for probably a decade without any compatibility issues, aside from the very few sites that specifically request IE or Edge (which I usually just bypass by changing User Agent anyway).
I have been daily driving firefox for a long time too. The other day at work a very heavy site that is a full blown application wouldn't work properly so I had to use chrome for it. I ended up using it for a while during the day and I must admit everything was so much snappier than I was used to. I would never use Chrome but I'm now thinking about testing ungoogled chromium. I just find it hard to let go of my user styles.
yup. as someone who used firefox in the "wasn't yet called firefox"-day, switched to chrome when it came available on linux, and then had to switch back to firefox a year ago: chrome feels just so. much. snappier.
It's hard to describe, but everything just feels... slightly off
