I ditched Google Chrome for Firefox for a week, and I finally see the appeal

Credit: Pankil Shah / Android Authority Chrome is one of the easiest browsers to pick up and use, but that simplicity comes at a cost. It takes half a dozen extensions, settings tweaks, and hidden flags to make Chrome do what browsers like Firefox already do out of the box. But the main reason I finally made the switch was privacy. Firefox is open-source, one of the few major non-Chromium browsers still standing. So I decided to test the waters and used it for a full week. Spoiler alert: I loved it.
