Firefox is the only alternative

Supposedly today we have a lot of browsers to choose from - Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, etc. Having choices is a good thing, right? Nobody wants to relive the time of almost complete Internet Explorer domination again. Unfortunately our choices are significantly fewer than they seem to be at first glance, as Chrome and Safari (thanks to the iPhone) totally dominate the browser landscape in terms of usage and almost all browsers these days are built on top of Chromium, Chrome's open-source version. Funny enough even Edge is built on top of Chromium today, despite the bitter rivalry between Google and Microsoft. What's also funny is that Chrome and Safari control about 85% of the browser market share today, and Microsoft's Edge commands only about 4%.

Firefox all the way for me. We need more than one browser engine to succeed, and Firefox is the only viable alternative to Chrome's dominance. Safari is tied to Apple so far too limiting, but at least it's not Chromium-based, so that's a plus.

I've been starting to see websites that simply do not work in Firefox, which has me deeply worried about just how long I can keep up using my browser of choice.
