I installed Firefox as my daily driver last year and have been completely happy with it. Great dev tools, good performance, and I agree with Mozilla's stance on privacy. All wins for me. I'll still occasionally open up Chrome for dev purposes -- but for the sake of browser diversity and maintaining an open internet, I encourage all my friends to give Firefox a try.

The main problem with Firefox is high memory usage.

  Did you mean "Chrome"?

  i had a opposite experience. memory usage was great in firefox, but it pegged my CPU.

  Energy usage would be my only complaint with Firefox. When I'm on my MBP, it does drain a bit faster (not horribly) when I have a few FF browser tabs open. I suppose I should just use Safari when I'm not plugged in.

Just wanted to add a +1. I use FF with strict content blocking enabled which means that things like YouTube videos and captchas are often randomly missing from pages, as are images hotlinked from third-party servers. I see this as a feature rather than a bug and it's easily temporarily disabled if it causes an issue. Of course, I use uBlock Origin as well. Performance-wise I have no complaints and the sync across devices works just as well as it does in Chrome.
