Currently a university student, and somewhat frequently, I see Firefox installed on people’s laptops but they also have Chrome installed and are using Chrome, or Edge, or Safari. Rarely do I see Firefox actually being used but I see it installed frequently. Does anyone have a clue as to why they have it installed?

Yea I know Chromium monopoly and open source browser and whatnot but the average Andy does not know what any of that is.

    I have Firefox, Chrome, and Brave installed but use Firefox most of the time. I have Brave for websites that need chromium. I have chrome because I’m too lazy to uninstall it. I think you’re probably looking too far into this. It’s easy to install something. Disk space isn’t really at a premium. They easily could’ve installed it in a whim.

    Why not ask them directly if you’re curious?
