Well, you're not saying just use Firefox, you actually bring up valid points and reasoning. Just look at the top comment of this post stating "Not using Chrome is so easy" when it's not.
Let me clarify that I don't hate Firefox, it's my second most used browser on the desktop after Vivaldi, I just don't think it's a great browser with its current feature set. Mind you, as soon as ad blocking becomes infeasible with Chrome and forks I'll instantly bite the bullet and fully switch to Firefox. But as it stands right now, Firefox is lacking features (some of them almost essential if you ask me, see my comment about passkeys) and compatibility (rarely Firefox' fault, but rather a result of the Chrome semi-monopoly).
The main problem is that Firefox is the only alternative to a Chromium browser on non-Apple platforms, but it's not the solution to everyone's problems. Let's see if and when Orion is going to get ported to Windows/Linux.
super excited about the future of Orion!!
