Some of you love Firefox for the features that make it stand out from other browsers. Others value Firefox for the trust it has earned over time. And for many, it\u2019s been a loyal companion from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at what makes Firefox special to so many of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features that keep you coming back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the features that make Firefox your go-to browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just that other browsers are too privacy invasive. And Firefox has a lot of great features not just one.&#8221;<br>\u2014 @xonidev<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Containers is the killer feature.&#8221;<br>\u2014 @Kaegun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;PIP (picture-in-picture) in every video&#8221;<br>\u2014 @JanakXD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Add-ons on mobile \ud83d\udc40&#8221;<br>\u2014 @kotulp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;switched on V 1.0 never gone back to other browsers. Using sync between multiple desktops \/&nbsp; Laptops &amp; mobile is great [especially] for adblock extensions!&#8221;<br>\u2014 @satanas_g<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improvements over the years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Firefox has grown, so has our commitment to making your browsing experience better and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;Stability improvements, cleaner UI, rust under the hood, adblock&#8221;<br>\u2014 @lee_official_the_real_one<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s fast&#8221;<br>\u2014 @blessedwithsins<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The trust factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond features, many of you choose Firefox for its transparency, commitment to open-source, and user-first principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;It wasn\u2019t a feature. It was trust.&#8221;<br>\u2014 @JimConnolly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I moved from Opera to Firefox because it was open-source and obeyed most of the standards. It\u2019s been my default since version 1.5. Why wouldn\u2019t it be?&#8221;<br>\u2014 @omarwilley<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In it from the beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you have been here since the early days, and Firefox has become part of your internet history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;my dad used it first before installing it on the family laptop 18 years ago where every one could use it. Gotta say i never switched to another browser after i got my own computer 16 years ago.&#8221;<br>\u2014 @032Zero<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tabbed browsing. Never left since.&#8221;<br>\u2014 @ergosteur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I just liked Mozilla\u2019s logo at the time, this was 20 years ago&#8221;<br>\u2014 @SneedPlays<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t remember using anything else except firefox (as main web browser)&#8221;<br>\u2014 @Miki1877852468<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Well, it was a successor to Netscape. Though migration was in 2008, I started using Firefox around 2005-2006. It was the best browser at the time. It is still the best browser for me now.&#8221;<br>\u2014 @erolcanulutas<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever it is that made you fall in love with Firefox, we\u2019re so glad you\u2019re here.
