Waterfox baby.
I have been using the same web browser, in terms of codebase, ideology, and heritage, since 1993.
That’s almost a third of a century.
IMHO, people in corporations should acknowledge that there is a growing user base for Firefox and give it as much priority as chrome. That way people in an organization can at least explore a different browser than chrome (especially the non-tech folks).
The reality is that companies test all their websites in Chrome. Any automation testing will also be focused on Chrome and Safari. Also majority of the developers use Chrome dev tools for debugging. I don't see that changing anytime soon. I feel that Firefox is like a second class citizen in their book.
But hey, that might be a good thing too. All the tracking B.S will be developed for chrome and We can continue to enjoy privacy with good old firefox.
Our automation tests run on Firefox on odd days and on Chrome on even days. I don't think it ever made a difference, tho. It's getting harder to create bugs that are specific to Firefox or Chrome. Safari, on the other hand, is a fucking mess.
