From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I actually started using Firefox in my early teens just because I liked the look of the Ui and themes better than Chrome.
I've also recently switched to Librewolf ;)
I started using it in my early 20s when it was still called "Firebird" because I was still salty that Netscape was dead and using IE sucked donkey balls (There was stuff like Konqueror and Lynx on Linux, but Konqueror and Lynx were...well they were Konqueror and Lynx). Mozilla 4 lyfe. "Technically" (with huge quotation marks) I've been more or less using the same browser since 1997.
Wolves got to stick together
Similar reason for me except I was like 10-11. Also another reason was browsing the web with firefox just felt much better to me back then.
I would probably still be on Librewolf if Floorp's Tree Style Tab integration wasn't as good as it is.
