    Well @ @TheGrandNagus and @SSUPII - you’re both saying most Firefox users are not power users and don’t want to spend time personalizing Firefox, but based on what? What random “Non-power-user” casually goes for Firefox over Chrome or Edge? The power of Firefox is adding a lot of customizations

    So I think a lot of Firefox users are actually power users. And a lot of the non-power Firefox users, like my friends and family, they’re only using Firefox because I recommended them to use it, and I installed all the appropriate extensions to optimize their browser experience.

    So if Firefox alienates the power users - who are left? I’m gonna move on to Waterfox or Librewolf, but they are even more next-level obscure browsers. My non-tech friends know about Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, so I can convince them to use one of those… But I kinda doubt I can get them to use Librewolf. If I tell them Firefox sucks now too, they’ll probably default to chrome
