Why Firefox?

I've been using Microsoft's built-in password management tool all along. The PC end can use the password filling and query functions provided by Edge, and the mobile end can use Authenticator launched by Microsoft as the mobile password management tool. Although it's easy to use, it essentially means that the PC browser needs to be strongly bound to Edge and Microsoft. It's not very convenient if you want to switch to other browsers.

In the past two weeks, I started to use Bitwarden as a password manager, thus getting rid of the dependence on Edge. Therefore, I immediately updated the FireFox browser on my computer and tried to use it as the default browser. The user experience is not bad, it has all the features I need, and its performance is similar to Chrome and Edge.

However, the performance of FireFox is just okay, there are not many outstanding aspects, it can only be said that it is close to or almost as good as Edge. This is not a problem with FireFox, because it has done its job well, and it's hard for browsers to make amazing innovations.

But such a level of performance that is just similar, when faced with a huge difference in the number of users, becomes very uncompetitive. For example, ChatGPT is very popular recently, and many related plugins have appeared. I liked a Chathub plugin that integrates various AIs, but it doesn't have a FireFox version, so I switched back to Edge, although I didn't use this plugin much later.

What should a new software do when faced with a huge user base that has formed, and these users have a mature and large community? This is indeed difficult.

If there are still users using the FireFox browser, please share your reasons for using it in the comments section to convince more people to join.
