What's stopping you? I use both browsers and I see no reason why someone would pick Chrome over Firefox at this point in time.

While the reasons someone would pick Firefox: - Privacy - Tree style tabs

    Not just better, it will only work in Firefox soon . Ad blockers will stop working on Chrome based browsers with Manifest V2 being dropped starting next week. All Chromimum based browsers are in the same boat, Ad blocking will be severely degraded after Manifest V3 becomes the only option.

(Some) sites don't work on Firefox. Sure it isn't frequent, but it is frequent enough that once a day or so I have to open chrome to do something.

  Once a day? That’s huge. What sites? (I use Firefox daily for about the last year and haven’t had this kind of issue)

  Seriously curious what sites those are, especially if it's not the same page every day. It literally never occurs to me (using Firefox again since 3-4 years) but I mostly browse dev-related websites.

    One example I often run into: Plaid (the bank-linking company) doesn't work. Just hangs. Though I'll admit it's possible they fixed it. I've been trained to use Chrome when I have to interact with it.

    I have the same problem. I certainly don't use Chrome daily, but do have to keep it around, typically for shopping checkout and a fair number of US government websites don't work on any browser but Chrome.

    jlcpcb's site is often broken in firefox, sadly. i keep chrome around just for it.

      Worked for me when I've used it in Firefox. What isn't working?

        Try ordering a PCB or seeing the list of house parts for PCBA

        Not sure where the list of parts is, but I've ordered PCBs using Firefox.

        I used to as well, sometimes it works and sometimes nothing on the page is clickable. New FF profile does not help, chrome works every time and their support has told me many times "we only chrome support sir"

for now the seamless extension switching using Extensity. I am yet to find an extension on Firefox which can deliver this functionality.
