I use it too and there is much to like. But there is also another side of it. I'm working in Web sites and apps and regularly test sites and Web apps on many browsers and Firefox has by far the most issues. Sometimes really strange issues that we spend way too much time to fix for Firefox users and lately we just don't.
Chrome doesn't care about closing html tags. If they are mising the document is invalid but chrome will render it anyway and just add the closing tag where it thinks it should be.
At the other end, Firefox goes beyond the standard and will block certain connections that should be allowed by the fetch standard (the setting to disable that is called enhanced tracking protection).
So chrome allows things things it shouldn't while Firefox blocks some it shouldn't
