With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I switched to FF a few years ago when my Chrome was showing some bloat. FF works for almost everything, but from time to time some sites, forms, e-commerce, etc., have issues with non-Chrome browsers. In that event, I use Edge.

I've experienced those quirks like…5 years ago. Today ICT services in my company are requiring people to use FF or a lot of our webpages (legacy intranet services) won't work as newest Chrome broke them. Google's marches at the beat of their own drum and don't care about anyone but Alphabet's bottom line. Enterprise is noticing, Firefox usually ships newer features without breaking backwards compatibility. Google on the other hand, relies on their position as default browser to force others to submit to their way of doing things. “Standards? We are the standard” - Chrome dev team, probably.
