It's still worth it because you really don't even have to think about it.
I don't use any Google products/services except when I need to at work. Firefox is perfectly fine for now; I agree that Mozilla's future is concerning but there is absolutely no downside to sticking with Firefox for now.
It's too bad that Mozilla doesn't push for more adoption; the vast majority of users would never know the difference between Firefox and Chrome once they're browsing. It's not like it's an inferior product.

- chaosite 3y agoI have never seen a "best viewed in Chrome" alert. Maybe in a tech demo or something like that. Even Google products work fine in Firefox.
- irrational 3y agoI’ve never seen an alert either, but I’ve seen plenty of sites and pages that only work in Chrome. Just yesterday I was trying to pay a credit card bill and the page kept breaking in Firefox. Out of desperation I tried it in Chrome and it worked.
- corobo 3y agoDo Slack huddles still require Chrome? That was the most recent one I recall bumping into
- waveBidder 3y agoI've almost exclusively seen them on "luxury" apartment websites, where they're completely ignorable . oh, and tidepool, a diabetes data visualization website, where it is actually required.
- dorfsmay 3y agoA bank I use rewrote all their sites, bigger fonts, much slower and blocks firefox, and it's not just user-agent. There are a few government website where I live that block Firefox, although those are just checking the user-agent so easy to work around. And yes I complain all the time about it.
