These include constant removal of features, bad coding paradigms, poor memory management, and hidden telemetry. In short, Firefox simply doesn't work that well anymore for developers or ordinary users who just want to use their browser, thank you very much.

It seems that the privacy community has a love/hate relationship with Firefox and Mozilla in general. Some will say it is because of their out-of-the-box privacy settings and others will say it is because of the Mozilla organization's “pro-censorship” stance.

Firefox is known for being a resource-intensive web browser, meaning that it requires a significant amount of computer resources, such as memory (RAM) and processing power, to run effectively. According to TechTarget's report from July 2022, Firefox consumes nearly 62% more RAM than Chrome with a single open tab.

While Chrome is faster and offers a range of browser add-ons and extensions, Firefox focuses on user privacy, with built-in features that protect it by default. Both browsers take user security seriously, with built-in malware detection and sandboxing (i.e., isolating threats).
