I've been hearing more and more about Firefox lately, which seemed to coincide with many users migrating from Chrome. Have there been any major recent changes to the latter which have caused this migration?

Edit: Just installed Firefox and man has it come a long way since I last tried it on Android years ago. Even has ublock origin, page sync with desktop... I think I'll switch for the next couple days and see how I like it on desktop nowadays.

I remember switching from Firefox to Chromium back when it first came out. Nice to go full circle.

Minor gripe but the scrolling feels so bad on desktop imo

Maybe it's the smooth scrolling? I don't like it either. There's an option to disable it.

I can't notice a difference on Mac OS using a trackpad, but maybe it's different on other platforms.

Try it with a mouse scroll wheel. It's a completely different feel compared to Chrome. I was on Windows if it makes a difference
