If you haven't been using Firefox, what are you even doing with your life?

I have been, on desktop and back when I used Android. When I kicked deGoogled Android out of my life and went to iOS where most things Just Work ™ and I could stop thinking about my phone and its bugs, I had to start using Orion because Firefox iOS sucks so much.

This news from TFA is the biggest step in the right direction; I might be able to use Firefox mobile again finally.

Using Brave on desktop and Vanadium on my phone. They are more secure and private which is why I like them.

In what ways is Brave more secure or private than Firefox?

Cross platform bookmark support is my favourite feature.

I also use Firefox on my mobile device. I have to admit: I'm not a huge fan of the interface. Super clunky.

A chrome version of Firefox is Brave.

A chrome version of Opera is Vivaldi.

A chrome version of MSIE is MS Edge.

After FF kept breaking extensions with their switch to XUL, I stopped using them.

Except now you can just install standard extensions in Firefox.

I don't want a chrome version of something. I want an independent browser that isn't effectively some version of adware.

I'll never understand why people don't get on board with migrating away from adware.

I've been using it for 20 years and switched 4 yearso ago to something else. My life is fine, thanks.

EDIT: so, the downvotes are because what, exactly?

I didn't downvote you, but your post has no useful information and looks like pure Firefox bashing for no reason. You don't tell why you switched, to what, what you gained. Not even mentioning that wherever you switched, your protection against ads and tracking must have become worse, as only Firefox supports Ublock Origin.
