Let’s take advantage of the fact that we are so small! Say hi and tell us how you started using Firefox!

    I started with Netscape then went through Mozilla then Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox on the desktop. I had a brief fling with Opera back in the day when it had its own engine and was trying to do cool things. I also used WaterFox for a while after the great extension debacle, but always came back to Firefox.

    On mobile I started with Opera because it used to be a great browser and pretty much the best browser on featurephones back in the 90s. I also used it on smartphones for quite a while because I had all my stuff synced in my Opera account, and also Firefox took its sweet time becoming fast and light on mobile.

    Nowadays it’s mostly Firefox, plus Hermit for sandboxing sites like Facebook or Google into their own “app”. Wish Firefox offered that feature instead but oh well.
