I’m interested in HTML, CSS, and making the web less annoying

Questions like “Which browser should I use?” regularly come up on the r/browsers subreddit. I sometimes respond to these posts, but my quick replies usually only contain one or two points. To be honest, until recently I wasn’t even sure myself why I use Firefox. Of course it’s a pretty good browser, but that doesn’t explain why I’ve stubbornly stayed loyal to Firefox for more than a decade. After giving it a bit more thought, I came up with the following reasons.

    I agree whole heartedly with 4 (it’s independent) and 5 (mobile ad blocking) as my main reasons, and while I haven’t used 6 (picture in picture) much, I like having the option.

    I also want to add Container Tabs, which is way better for me than Chrome Profiles. I sometimes have three or four email addresses logged in simultaneously (work, personal, my kid’s, and my wife’s), and I like having SM sites locked behind a separate container entirely (e.g. all Facebook and Instagram links go to a clean container just for Meta crap).
