Exactly. I also swapped, it was just so much better back then.
I use Firefox now, but they don't seem to know what they want to do with it. Speed wise it's fast, it's more private, it has good extension support. I think they could have leaned into features like Firefox Send, added a P2P mode, people would have used a built-in file sharing thing with good support to it. Pocket was nice, maybe they could have evolved it some way.
They just never really tried to give the browser an identity I feel like.
"Why would I swap to Firefox?" All I can say is, it's more private (after toggling settings off, ugh). Most don't care about consolidation of the web to one engine.
Most of us caring more about FOSS and privacy, use forks like Librewolf and we will probably all end up on a Servo browser.
