Firefox is a privacy-friendly alternative to Chrome, using its own browser engine (Gecko) and offering strong privacy protections compared to Chromium-based browsers.
Despite its benefits, Firefox relies on Google for funding, raising concerns about its future, and some recent privacy decisions have drawn criticism.
Switching from Chrome to Firefox is simple, and alternatives like Mullvad Browser offer even stronger privacy for those seeking more protection.

Sorry, I can’t switch to Firefox, as I’ve never not used Firefox.

You still can! Just uninstall Firefox, switch to an alternative browser. Now you are in a position where you can switch to Firefox. To make it more believable, open your favorite website with the new browser, close it and uninstall it. Install Firefox, so you can switch to it. All of this takes only a few minutes and can be done by virtually anyone.

Modern problems require modern solution. Thank me later, alligator.

Clever 8^)

But I still have to install FF from time to time, like I did today — best way to spend one's Sunday, reinstalling the Mac :/

Speaking installation, whenever I do an installation Firefox is always the second app I install on fresh machine. The first one being my password manager.
