Why would Firefox be difficult to use?

[–] macattack@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (8 children)

Different shortcuts, ways of customizing the browser, etc. the browser may feel like second nature to you currently, but for others, there's friction in changing the software you've use for over a decade, and I say this as a current Floorp user

I still don't see how that makes Firefox difficult.

The transition might be difficult, but I rarely see casual people use the options you describe.

It's as easy as opening the shortcut and start browsing, I see no difference with Chrome there

I'll be honest; I bounce between several browsers - Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, and even sometimes Edge, and sometimes it takes a second for me to even remember which one I'm looking at. Firefox is great for very specific work flows I have, but for a lot of other things, most other browsers will do.

Maybe it's because I tend to bounce around that I find it very interesting to hear that FF is difficult to use.
