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.

    Ok, I’d say it’s biggest selling point is not being owned by Google - the company with the business model of violating privacy. But if you don’t care about that, think about how short is the battery life on your phone. It doesn’t have to be that way. That’s because of Googles and Facebooks of the world that convert your money that you spend on charging your phone to make money on the data they collect.
