Firefox is just... better in my opinion. Firefox is...

  • Faster than Chrome
  • Less of a resource hog than Chrome
  • More feature-rich than Chrome
  • More secure than Chrome
  • More privacy-focused than Chrome
  • A lot better on the development tools than Chrome
  • A lot easier to use than Chome
  • A lot cleaner (in looks) than Chrome
  • Better with *quality add-ons than Chrome

I can 100% see why you came back to the dark side of the force... I mean back to Firefox.

You forgot an important one: Firefox can block auto-play movies. Chrome only allows to mute them (as these are typically used for adds Chrome will not block them)

More secure than Chrome? I assume you are using Firefox right now. Please visit this link: аррӏе.com

Looks rather obvious on my Firefox, since it is using a serif font.

When I wrote the comment I posted it from the latest Firefox and it looked like the normal apple domain. But even when it's another font. The link still works and there is no warning. On Chromium, you get a nice big warning when you enter the site, and even when you are on the site, the URL changes to notify, that something is wrong. In my eyes, this is a huge security risk
