Some that I have heard (some are outdated and/or mostly irrelevant):

  • slightly slower
  • websites develop for chrome first
    • sites (0.1%) don't render properly
  • default Firefox still has telemetry
  • still has ads
  • no dinosaur game
  • Mv3 AdBlock still works fine
  • better security because more devs contribute to chromium
  • mostly funded by Google anyways
  • Brendan Eich (left 2014)
    • invented JavaScript
    • political opinions

That said, I'm still using Librewolf.

I know you didn't say these were your opinions, but I'll still see if I can comment on them:

It's not. It's actually faster.

Ehhhhhhhhh. Source?

Everything has telemetry, but Firefox shows you right where to turn it off, unlike the rest.

??? Which browser has no ads?

Fair.

Adblock? This a joke?

Source?

Source?

Relevance?

Also, Librewolf is just a fork of FF, you can make main FF exactly like Libre but get same day updates and security patches.
