Mozilla Phoenix user here. Good old times. Then Firebird came along. Then Firefox... What an odd name change that was, IMO. Firefox. Huh.
Then Chrome came and I jumped on that ship for years until the new revamped Firefox came in 2018, and as it looks nowadays, I won't ever leave Firefox until it dies of death.
Chrome has a pretty sleek design these days, but my conscience tells me I can't use it.
I use Chromium for web development (testing purposes only), but I'm not sure if Chromium is any better. At least I'm not signed in to it.
They ditched Phoenix because the bios manufacturer had that copy right. There's a whole story behind it.
Firefox in China is also known as a red panda
Ah, so that's the reason. I never bothered to find out. Thanks! Only 20 years later or so 😅
Lol I only found out about a month ago. So I'm in the same boat.
