Currently a university student, and somewhat frequently, I see Firefox installed on people’s laptops but they also have Chrome installed and are using Chrome, or Edge, or Safari. Rarely do I see Firefox actually being used but I see it installed frequently. Does anyone have a clue as to why they have it installed?

Yea I know Chromium monopoly and open source browser and whatnot but the average Andy does not know what any of that is.

    Firefox has been my daily driver for five or six years now, and I think the only reason people still use chrome is habit. Getting people to change is hard, simply because habits have inertia.

    Switching to Firefox was super easy for me. Just import all my bookmarks, passwords, etc and I was done. Completely set up in probably 5 minutes, including the installer.
