I've used Firefox for years. It's always been the underdog imo.
If it ever becomes the top dog, I'll switch! To the next privacy underdog. More competition is good.
FF has always been security conscious and was actually the big dog until around 2007 or so when they had to do a full rebuild of their code and this made it so that a lot of peoples' favorite plugins stopped working until they were updated. This coincided with when Chrome started to become bigger and people switched. Now people are switching back. I use a combination of FF and Opera GX.
I was one of the users who left because TabMixPlus stopped working. Never worked again, so I'm with Vivaldi. I know; it's built on Chromium, but being able to have my tabs on the bottom of the window is worth it for me.
I use waterfox (firefox branch) and it has that as a default option https://imgur.com/oWzCeA7
