Doesn't Google fund Mozilla so it doesn't get done for monopolising the market?
Besides Google's intentions - the funding doesn't influence how Firefox is developed.

FF has been my daily driver... longer than I can remember on essentially anything that can handle a browser. It's powerfull, feature rich, extensible, etc. But it does tend gain weight between major overhauls.
Out of curiosity, being a Linux user, I installed Chromium not 2 weeks ago and the thing is fast. It outperforms Firefox on my aging machine by far. And I was actually surprised. Yes, I do have the ghost of Google just waiting to sink its fangs in me, which I dislike, but I really have to admit the browser is fast, light and easy to approach for new users.
Will I let go of FF? Not really but Chromium did manage to get my attention.

Been a proud Firefox user for a long time. Never switched to Chrome, don't plan to.
Chrome does suck regarding privacy.
But the article shared here is basically an ad for Firefox.

I love Firefox, been ride or die since I started. Chrome is just pure Spyware.

At least the guys at Tumblr are promoting Firefox through femboy and furry memes.
I switched to FF a few years ago when my Chrome was showing some bloat. FF works for almost everything, but from time to time some sites, forms, e-commerce, etc., have issues with non-Chrome browsers. In that event, I use Edge.

Okay I’m going to step into it. I’ve been liking Vivaldi recently as a browser. Is that screwed too because it’s based on chromium? Or am I safe for now?

I switched from chrome to Firefox 5 years ago but for some reason, Firefox loading acts weird and video playback also is weird...Eventually moved to Vivaldi and I'm pretty happy wit it so far.
