Support for some niche css features, the WebExtension implementation can support more advanced extensions (sidebar, runtime theme modification, dns, etc). shift+right click to bypass websites that block context menus. if a website uses the background-image css property, the firefox context menu will have the correct image options and chrome won't. i can hold ctrl and properly select HTML tables to paste into spreadsheets.

- nchi3 5y agoDoes anyone here only have a single browser installed on their computer? I always install Chrome, but do less than 0.1% of my browsing in it. What's the reason you couldn't have both? Storage? What you gain from using something other than Chrome is privacy, and using something other than Chromium makes it harder for Google to gain more control of the internet. That being said, I find both Firefox and Safari to be better experiences than Chrome.
