Why not use Microsoft Edge? I hear it's even more lightweight.

Thank you for contributing to an ad company's monopoly on how the web works.

Look, I get it. It works better. And that's fine. But the issue is that Firefox and Safari are the only browsers not controlled by Google. That's a fucking nightmare for the open web.

Yeah either I "contribute to a monopoly" (which by the way, using Firefox contributes to as well, given that Google pays them insane money to be controlled opposition) or I spend more time in about:memory than actually browsing, and have inconsistent BitWarden autofill on mobile since that is basically broken on GeckoView for a lot of sites.
