Question: what do people have against chromium? I understand not liking Chrome specifically, but what's the issue with non-Google chromium? I use Brave on my PC and phone, and Edge for work.
As for Firefox, I love and appreciate what they are doing and what they stand for. I tried using it and had one bad experience, where I was doing some web dev and encountered a bug that drove me crazy trying to fix, only to find it was a bug with FF itself. So I switched to Brave for development, and then I liked it and haven't switched back. So, not to say that one little bug "ruined" FF for me, I just haven't had any reason to stop using Brave.
Dunno about others, but I run older hardware and Chrom* was a resource piglet for me.
Which is ironic, since when Chrome was released, it got traction for being slimmer and a lot faster than Firefox.
It probably doesn't help, that browsers had to become (almost) full operating systems and runtime environment.
