This ^ some people are weirdly hellbent against using Firefox for basically no reason.

Had a someone I know recently which between 3 different chromium browsers to find one where the adBlock still worked on Youtube, But would refuse Firefox for the pettiest of reasons from 'I can't sync logins with my google account' to 'That browsers for NERDS'
