I’ve been using Firefox since I heard about their containers. I’m happy they are pushing for all these privacy tools. For me these are the features that will make me chose over chrome.

ever since they've switched to the quantum engine it also feels really fast, almost faster than chrome with the exception of youtube, which feels sluggish sadly.

  That's because YouTube uses non standard HTML features that only work in chrome and then polyfills it for every other browser so it works like shit unless you use chrome.

    If YouTube page loads are slow for you in Firefox, you can install the "YouTube Classic" extension to opt-out of YouTube's (2017) Polymer design. This extension doesn't affect video playback, just the page layout. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-classic/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-class...

      Its amazing how low the bar for quality is on major google websites. How did such a broken feature end up running on YouTube for a year?

        Works on Chrome, Google doesn't care about anything else.

Illusion of safety is worse than the lack of it. Firefox and Mozilla are just untrustworthy as google.
