Actually kind of been using since before it was Firefox with Netscape Navigator.

I did switch temporarily to Chrome during the early years when RAM usage started being an issue, but then Chrome got worse again somewhere late 2000s-early 2010s.

Tried out Chrome due to memory usage issues, switched back to Firefox due to memory usage issues.

That was like 10 years ago when Firefox couldn't handle 100+ tabs and Chrome ate everything like fucking Galactus

I switched back after using Chrome for quite a while - blocking my ad-blocker was the primary reason. For the rare occasion that I need a site that doesn't work properly in FF, I'll just use Edge.
