I'm with you on Firefox for a few reasons (the ones that make me stick with Firefox):

  • Firefox is infinitely customizable and extensible. Yes, you can have your side tabs. I like my top tabs (gauge of how much I'm distracted by how many tabs are crowded there) clean of any buttons in a tab bar with the new tab button on the left and the close tab button on the right, under the address bar (where it should be), which is under a combined menu and bookmark bar. No other browser does this!

  • When debugging SSL Certificates, Firefox gives me a ton more info than any other browser by default. Chrome? Zilch. IE/Edge? Nada. I'm assuming this is because Firefox doesn't use any OS based framework for web page calls.

  • Firefox was first on Unix and Linux. IE... a showing when it got around to it, and never raced again. Chrome? Late, but it's here to stay. I'm too used to Firefox.
