No clue why except i think people are mostly just really fed up with Mozilla making a non profit about everything but their browser. I could see a lot of people prefer the name and the willingness to try new stuff compared to floorp.
But really i think most of it is it’s very different from Firefox and people are tired of Firefox… But still hate chromium.
Stoked for you! Here is to hoping it’ll not bite you with any failing parts in the near future so you’ll have time to get used to how things work! We’ve only had ours for almost a year now and I’ve already replaced half the house. But we got a fixer upper. Lol
