I'm not going to use Firefox for development and I'm not going to install Firefox for my family members, simply because Chrome is better for both scenarios. Firefox is pretty good, but Chrome is just better.

Instead, I send Mozilla some money every month (a small amount), because I still care that Firefox continues to be developed.

What would Mozilla have to do to make their browser better than Chrome?
For me, as a developer, it boils down to the Web Dev Tools (Elements, Console, Network panels), which keep getting better and better.

For my family, Chrome is on desktop and their phones, everything synchronized. Chrome autoupdates without bothering them. Chrome is simple and it just works for them, and everything works in Chrome.

Please don't downvote me, I've been supporting Mozilla with monthly donations for years, and after Edge switches to Chromium, I'll probably increase the amount ;-) And I invite more of us to do the same. :-)

All of those things are available on Firefox, which is why I asked. There are a diminishing number of features not available to Firefox users at this point.
