And also now arguably the best browser in terms of the standards, after hiring most of the w3c team.

Why is their browser popular? Because it's better.

Best browser just keeps getting better!

Hopefully this gets some more people over from the closed-source Google Chrome.

It's still the best browser going. Things like integrated wikipedia lookup - so simple but no other browser has ever added it.

It's also a hell of a lot faster... among those who care about this sort of thing, this definitely is going to be the browser of choice.

This is a really big deal.

Really well - they make the best web browser around!

the built-in browser is also getting better with every release.

The browser is a good candidate.

In my opinion, Firefox has regained the crown as the best browser. There really arn't that many disadvantages to it while having many benefits.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted.

It’s slow to adopt new standards and a pain to develop for, but as a bit of consumer software it’s the best browser out there IMO.

I think the best part of the browser are the extensions and plugins people make.

peregrine | karma 2014 | avg karma 2.73 · | 2009-02-22 15:25:53+00:00

The web browser is outstanding.

lycopodiopsida | karma 2033 | avg karma 7.39 · | 2023-02-03 08:26:07

I feel it is the awesome browser since some years, already. With UBO, TSTabs and containers every other browser out there feels broken.

MaxBarraclough | karma 10788 | avg karma 2.11 · | 2020-08-05 12:08:04+00:00

Agreed. As a bonus, it really is a very good browser! It's not a charity-case at all.

Jyaif | karma 2148 | avg karma 1.99 · | 2021-11-15 14:58:33

By your standards Lynx is the best browser.

ekanna | karma -13 | avg karma -0.59 · | 2014-04-30 01:09:57+00:00

Excellent. It became more developer friendly as well. This is going to be my default browser!

brummm | karma 343 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2020-10-01 15:57:07+00:00

It's honestly the best browser out there...

Spoom | karma 2015 | avg karma 2.61 · | 2017-10-19 14:56:01+00:00

Primarily Chrome, because their dev tools are amazing. (To be fair, I haven't touched Firefox in some time.)

Better than all other major browsers != good

Since the only real competition is chromium, safari, and edge, the bar is astoundingly low.

jeroenhd | karma 24884 | avg karma 4.06 · | 2022-06-10 09:34:07

The browser has one of the most extensive standard libraries out there.
