• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla's focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google's ad-centric approach, making Firefox a viable alternative.

I’ve used it very briefly and had no problems.

Honestly, the differences between browsers performance is almost nothing. I’ve been a long time Firefox user and only ever encountered a compatibility issue once, but that was on a 3rd world countries government webpage for a small neighborhood.

It was more likely that it was a bug.

Some websites are much worse than others. https://astro.build/ as an example. Try scrolling up and down on that website on Firefox vs Chrome (mobile).

The only difference I see is that Firefox allows me to scroll faster. What am I supposed to see?

it seems everyone has had completely different results! I've uploaded my experience here: video

for me if you look closely, ff hitches and lags on scroll while chrome scrolls perfectly smoothly
