Firefox is just less usable. It's slower and a lot of config options are missing. Stuff that is common in enterprises and has buttons in Chrome (e.g. "add the intranet search to your browser!") is hard in Firefox (you have to write and serve a specific XML file somewhere).

Also it has a big incredible redesign every 2 weeks, as far as I can tell from HN, while Chrome's UI is mostly boring and stable.




These are not solutions, these are workarounds. Adding a bookmark with a keyword, because the internal UI isn't good enough? Come on.


Yeah. For me, the main feature that has me use chrome instead is that it can remember my credit card details. I don't understand how it can be that firefox doesn't do this, it's so annoying.


Firefox actually also does it, maybe limited based on location.

For instance here they announce it for UK, France, Germany (in 2022) and say it was available in the US/Canada since 2018: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/fi...


That's good news I guess. Any idea about why it's geographically limited? I'm not in one of those countries, unfortunately.


Firefox has a "saved credit cards" feature. I'm not using it, so maybe I'm unaware of its limitations?


Firefox does do this.
