With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

FWIW, latest Firefox nightlies have caught up to Chrome in terms of performance. I have been a Firefox user since the 3.5 days, I was briefly swayed by Chrome because of performance until I came back for the Quantum update and stuck with it ever since. The updates have been great and Firefox + ubo + Nextdns is a solid combination.
Lol Firefox has always been good. Like I care about .2s of increased page load speed.
Tbh, they trade blows all the time but I value privacy so I've been using Firefox for decades.
Firefox has been and in some cases still is far, far worse than .2s slower, but even not considering that, the reality is that chrome has more support and thus gets more development and attention.
This results in some websites not working properly or at all on Firefox, while this isn't Firefox's fault it is a thing nevertheless
I'd be curious to know these sites because I've never had an issue with firefox loading sites, or even improperly. I do understand what you're saying though. I also stick with it because of the privacy "edge" (pun intended) over chrome+variants and I don't want a browser monopoly. Even though I'm just 1 person, it's something.
For a while it wasn't on MacOS that I used for some years. But yeah, right now it's negligible for anyone to use as an excuse.
Out of curiosity, could you explain why you went with nextdns instead of cloudflare?
Nextdns has blocklists that you can configure something I could control. I used the free tier for a while, you get 300k queries a month which should be okay for personal use. The paid tier is $20/yr which isn't bad. I liked it so I continued to use it.
Can you share what's coming soon from Nightly 👀❓
