Does Firefox actually get hate? I don't think I've seen people actually make digs at FF.

For me it would be Edge that gets the most laughs but I find is a better performing browser, at least in terms of UI than FF or Chrome. Side-bar tasks, grouping, integrated screen-shot, etc.

Mozilla management gets hate. They have had a string of controversies, policy upheavals that have bad optics and layoffs etc. They are often on HN for all the bad reasons.

Maybe not Firefox itself but Mozilla’s “We need more than deplatforming” blog post burnt a lot of good will towards them. I think that kind of censorial ethos is at odds with the majority of people who would specifically choose firefox over chrome.
