It was my birthday a few weeks ago, and as if that didn’t make me feel old enough, the Firefox browser has just turned exactly 20 years old today. Yes, Firefox version 1.0 launched on November 9, 2004 – and I've been using it for almost as long as it's been alive, picking it up in the mid-noughties and loading it onto every computer I’ve used in the years since.
Over all that time, I’ve stuck with Firefox through thick and thin (and Chrome's increasing dominance). It’s clear to me that Firefox has always done a few things far better than rivals like Chrome and Safari – things that those web browsers are unlikely to ever match.
