In a detailed browser comparison by Lance Whitney, Firefox stands out as a preferred choice over Chromium-based alternatives like Chrome and Edge.
The review highlights Firefox's independent Gecko engine, default cookie isolation in Standard mode, enhanced fingerprinting protections, and continued support for older Manifest V2 extensions like uBlock Origin.

A few things I like from #Firefox, over #Vivaldi, is the ability to have a bunch of user preferences defined in user.js, which I can then copy into new profiles so I don't have to hunt around in the UI to replicate a profile's settings.
userChrome.css and an organized chrome directory also.Vivaldi enables you to use a directory with a bunch of CSS files, but Firefox gives you userChrome.css, so you can \@import different files and keep things tidier.
The Firefox CSS modding community is also more active.
On the other hand, Vivaldi has a bunch of UI options that render some of the Firefox CSS mods pointless.
And yet, every time I think I'm settling on Vivaldi, there's something missing. The expand on hover animation of the vertical tab bar, for example, lacks a delay option, which I did find in Firefox, which I was able to set in user.js and copy it to all my other Firefox profiles.
Theming is also limited "officially" to 4 core colors. I was only able to expand them via CSS.
I love both, btw. I'll be using them side by side.

Firefox beépített, ingyenes VPN: 2026.11.10–2027.01.31 között korlátlan adat minden felhasználónak, Mozilla fiókkal. Figyelem: csak a Firefoxon belüli forgalmat védi, nem tesz névtelenné és nem törli az eszközön maradó előzményeket. Elérhető asztali és Android verzióban (iOS később). #Firefox #VPN #privacy #Android #Desktop
Where's the active tab? My eyesight is healthy. #firefox progressively makes it harder to navigate its own damned interface. Now I join the lots of people who have to work around this by installing some plugins or shopping for an alternative theme. Infuriating.

“Hide Google AI Overviews”. That seems like a very useful #Firefox addon, for those who use Google.

.. easyOs desktop with icewm as window-manager instead jwm (Joe's Window Manager).
Icewm is very lightweight, resource friendly, extreme versatile and has tiling options (see image to the right)
Please notice firefox (in the processes) HOW MUCH RAM/MEM it takes just because all the shitty ai blingbling i don't need and had to opt out .. for security reasons i run browsers like that only in containers.
in the image to the right you see the icewm window-manager in tiling-mode, two terminals and rofi in file-search-mode. (newsboat rss-reader / left -|- elinks-cli-browser / right)
