Firefox is underrated. The only issue I have is sites that are only optimized for Chromium, and especially edge. A lot of businesses and medical websites only develop for and test for 1 browser, and it used to be Internet Explorer, but now it's Edge.

Then there's Microsoft Websites too. I don't know if it's like that anymore, but I always had to use Edge instead of Firefox to subscribe to or cancel Xbox Game Pass in the past.

Yup. Quick books and our government website both require chrome. It's like.... The stuff I do that I most care about not giving to Google, I have to give to Google. Drag.

You can try with chromium based browsers that are more privacy friendly. I find Vivaldi works on sites that don't like Firefox. There's also brave or duck duck go's mobile browser.

I second Vivaldi. It's a great chromium based alternative to chrome, and the level of customisation on offer is jaw-dropping. Its mouse gestures in particular, have been a huge convenience. The only thing about it that irks me somewhat is that it's noticeably slower to start compared to Firefox and Edge.

Vivaldi is non-free so it's a non-starter for me. "Privacy friendly" isn't enough for me, I need the four freedoms.

Will give them a try, thank you!

For me, the only website that creates issues with Firefox is Teams, but it does run on Chromium.
