These 17 Firefox tips make it easy to switch from ChromeThese 17 Firefox tips make it easy

Last December, I decided to give Firefox another chance.

The venerable web browser had received a visual overhaul and a new engine a year earlier, and had been getting even faster ever since. At the same time, it continued to take strong stances on privacy, offering simple tools to prevent Facebook and other sites from following you around the web. I also just liked the idea of using a product that’s not run by a tech giant. (Firefox is owned by the Mozilla Foundation, a nonprofit.)
