Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

100%! I switched from Chrome last year when the AdBlock thing was big and I never looked back. There are some things I still dont understand (activating syncing between multiple desktop versions is really weird for example) but they are all minor.

Switching also was extremely easy! I could just import all my bookmarks and since I use BitWarden I didnt need to migrate any passwords. I think it's also possible to import passwords, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

There are also quite a few benefits, especially on mobile! You can use add-ons in the Firefox Android Browser, which is huge. Also on Firefox mobile I can view videos in Fullscreen rotated without enabling rotation on the phone, that never worked with chrome for me.
