Check out LibreWolf. There’s no reason to wait.
Librewolf is too hardened for my use case. By the time I tweak Librewolf to my liking, it's functionally Firefox, but with a different icon, lol. Just gonna ride out Firefox for the next year or two and them jump off this ship.

My first web browser was Mosaic version 1. I ran version 2 alpha for a bit.
Netscape started doing things better so I moved over to it.
Over the years I've bounced around from Netscape, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and a few others (the MS browsers never really swayed me). It seemed like every year I'd be moving to a new platform or version. I usually have 3-4 browsers installed on my computers at any given time.
Once Chrome blocked uOrigin I moved over to Firefox. Easy.
The point is, to get the best (and safest) browsing experience, you have to be flexible. If you just use the thing that "came with the computer" you're going to have a bad time. If Chrome wants to break your browsing experience, ditch it.

Horrible from a security standpoint. A good step into the future, but honestly let it go.

I have to use Chrome to access a couple of sites that don't play nice with Firefox.
Then you use Chrome for sites that require it and Firefox for everything else.

Rent portal? You mean bank account with direct debit and/or electronic transfer. What is a rent portal? How can you possibly benefit from having a website just to act as a middle man to collect your personal info?
Ah yes, because you get to choose how your landlord collects rent.

They're the same browser though. They use the same rendering engine, same JavaScript engine, etc. There are more similarities than differences.
They're the same browser though.
They actually aren't the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.
It's a similar and derivative browser, but they aren't the same.
There are more similarities than differences.
You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren't the same person.

Precisely what I do

And here I am, seeing both as equivalent. I honestly don't see a meaningful difference between Edge and Chrome...
To be clear, that’s exactly what I mean. I use Firefox, but I find the edge vs chrome debate amusing.

You can still block ads while shoving your data up Google's ass, here is how.
Don't use Chrome

They're the same in the ways I care about, which is rendering and javascript engines. I'm a developer, that's what matters to me. I rarely interact with extra features, and I can get most of what's unique about a given browser with extensions.

Hmm, openSUSE Tumbleweed has been the best OS I've ever used, and it's still available. Windows 7 was marginally better than Vista because they fixed the broken stuff, but it still had all the problems of a Windows OS.
Except all problems of a windows system werent on win7. Bloat? Minimal, was mostly the theme that was heavy but could be disabled. Forced updates? Didnt exist yet. Hardware requirements? A running pc. Half assed new ui? Didnt exist yet. Confusing configs that were all over the place? Nope, started in win8 and 10. Software comparability? 90% hell yes.
Win7 was a polished vista, with loads of bloat removed, performance improvements and 1000% more stable.
Win8 started screwing with shit and moving stuff partly and it went downhill from there.And im also comparing it to os' of the time. Clearly with todays tech id pick a linux over win7 anyday, but in those days win7 was king

Nah, in those days I picked Linux. In fact, I got a "win7 ready laptop" and still picked Linux over it. Windows 7 was better than Vista, but it didn't fix the other issues I had w/ windows.
I honestly think Win10 was better than Win7.

JUST FU***** CHANGE BROWSER ALREADY!
Why you have to be so stupid to use Chrome? -

Right, the rendering engine is the same, that's still not the browser. Again, just because it's a derivative browser doesn't make it the same browser.

I kinda think it does. I use a gecko browser as my main, and I use a chromium browser as my backup. I don't use most of the default features, I just need a handful of extensions, and those are available everywhere.
So to me they're pretty much the same. Brave is a little different since it embeds an ad blocker, but besides that, the rest of the chromium browsers are equivalent for me.

Just use Firefox. Its people's fault that it got so bad because you basically gave them a browser monopoly

Why you have to be so stupid to use Chrome?According to the people I know, "It's better" because they won the browser speed race without looking at anything else.
