I think Firefox's shortcomings are overstated. Often they're actually Mozilla's rather than Firefox's.

There are other things I consider superior about Firefox that Chrome has yet to implement:

  - Multi-account containers is a killer feature IMO.  I have different containers for banking, Facebook, a container for every email, a container for every Google/YouTube account, and so forth.

  - The option to enable canvas permission prompts and canvas obfuscation. (though there are some arguments that those make you *more* trackable)

  - Autoplay blocking and permission prompt

  - Pop-out videos (aka picture-in-picture) are awesome and make it easy to keep videos on screen while browsing other tabs and apps.

  - Built-in anti-fingerprinting

  - Blocks tracking cookies by default
I simply won't use a browser that doesn't have these things.
