i switched from safari [sick of the small, persistent weird annoying bugs] to chrome last month partially because of how many extensions it had but even still it’s missing some crucial features i missed from safari
firefox seems to be worse at everything [not as slick and fast as safari even if it’s more solid, less extension support even though it’s so old] but i am already sick of how i’m seeing more ads in chrome and the adblockers don’t work as well. google is literally literally tanking the internet
i switched to firefox in the middle of writing this and hopefully won’t turn back again. can’t wait for real adblock
Firefox + uBlock Origin is a godsend. Shout outs also go to DuckDuckGo and the Privacy Badger add-on
Fwiw, my experience with Firefox has been so good that I’ve started using Pocket and Thunderbird as well (both also developed by Mozilla). There’s a bit of a learning curve, but resources are easily found online, and the privacy and customization benefits easily outweigh the hiccups, imo
If you’re frustrated with Firefox you could give Brave Browser a try. The devs forked off of Chromium and removed all of the tracking that Google wants in there. It comes pre-loaded with all of the Ad-blocking features I use in Firefox as well, so no extensions needed for that. Also you’ll still be able to use the Chromecast feature if you really want to go in and re-enable it.
The only thing you’ll want to do is to switch the Homepage off and probably disable the icon at the top for enrolling in their ad rewards program (which handles the problems that a lot of users here have with Brave).

Firefox is the superior browser to all of these by far
