Chose Mozilla Firefox
When I decided on Firefox, it was well beyond the other browsers. Today, the competition is catching up but Firefox still seems to be a bit more innovative.
Chose Mozilla Firefox
Firefox stands toe to toe with any other web browser on the market. From comparable features and capabilities, there's nothing that my team can't do with Mozilla that we can do with any other leading product. Developer tools, speed, reliability, customization options, add-ins, …

Safari is a very capable browser and seems to work well with websites that run modern frontend programming languages. It can load them fast and is also nice and slick, Apple also do a good job of keeping it updated.

Firefox is ideal for users who are tech-proficient and eager to customize their browsing experience to meet exactly their needs. It is best for people who are very contemplative and thoughtful about their experience of using web browsers and want more than an out-of-the-box or clunky experience offered by pre-loaded browsers.

It can do anything I throw at it. It does not slow down. I cannot remember it ever crashing. Updating is super easy. It's colorful enough to find what I need visually. I can customize the look to make it super usable and fast with muscle memory precision. It's by far easier to use than any other browser.

Alternatives Considered
Apple
Google Chrome is more of a standard for developers so we find input forms or process sites often won't work because they are not optimised for Safari. We have to switch. We found the next tier browsers like Firefox don't fit well to our ecosystem and don't even have them on our system.

Mozilla Firefox stacks up very well alongside similar products. There has not been a feature I have needed that a similar product had that was lacking from Mozilla Firefox. The product has been developed very well and updates have been effective at maintaining security. I have been a long-time user of Mozilla Firefox and have no reason to change.
