There are only chrome, Firefox and safari. All other browsers are derivative of the one above. Chrome is objectively the best from the technical prospective: better support for web technologies, more stable, and better performance. This is not the same as IE that was actually a bad browser.
You either choose a derivative of chrome with better interface and privacy default (vivaldi?), a derivative of Firefox if you care about open web (librewolf?) or a derivative of safari if you have macOS (orion?). But it is still one of those 3, and if google kill manifest v2 then manifest v2 is killed for all derivatives.
CSS scroll drive animation (standard), Cross document view transitions (standard), CSS corner shape, Multicol Level 2 (standard), some of the Filesystem Access API, WebGPU on linux, PWA manifest install (standard), took 3 years to ship documentPictureInPicture.
Facts are facts. Web standard are implemented first in chromium, then in firefox after years.
what?
Chromium based browser have strict multiprocess isolation. This is not true for firefox. If a tab crashes chrome it does not crash the entire browser. This is only partially true for firefox
yes it is a known fact that google sites including youtube are engineered to be slower on firefox.
Yes, and if you check browser performance on a neutral benchmark like speedometer 3.1 chrome is still faster. Also this is a fact.
Chromium is an objectively slightly better browser on paper than Firefox. Firefox is a much better browser for your privacy, for open source development and the health of the web in general.

half of these are animations. are you choosing your browser by what cool animations it supports?
certain things are better unimplemented. like webusb and complete filesystem access, because they are too dangerous features to give to random websites by a single click. if a website wants to access arbitrary parts of my filesystem they should develop a downloadable app for that.
webgpu and pwa support are indeed happening slowly. Unfortunately firefox does not have as much funds as our favorite advertising supergiant does, and they are just the same plagued by a CEO who can’t ever be fulfilled with enough of a paycheck. you will not fix that by switching to chrome.
document picture in picture kind of sounds WTF, like the other feature allowing arbitrary HTML to he rendered onto a canvas. I feel it more with the latter, but sometimes I just feel google is intentionally making the web a standard too heavy to have competitors.

I just addressed this in the previous sentence.

how is that only partially true on firefox? this is exactly the reason why it consumes so much memory when having lots of websites open.
I do not remember the last time firefox crashed for me. must have been many years ago.

only if you completely ignore a bunch of aspects of it. in reality, it has a few advantages and lots of disadvantages. oh, and its also the default for billions of people who have no clue why choose one over the other.
Still surprised there are so many people using Chrome.
They’re this generations grannies who were stubborn about using Internet Explorer.
