Firefox has been irrelevant since 2016 or so, when it was taken over by trannies. Brendan Eich, co founder, was booted by these usurpers and started a new, better browser: Brave

I have been using Firefox since before it was called Firefox. It is not only relevant, but it's the best browser out there for two reasons. The first is that it's not Chromium and hence not subject to the same attacks that all Chromium browsers expose. The second is that it just works better. At work, I use Edge, Chrome and Firefox and Firefox is my primary browser. At home, I only use Firefox.

People can think that Firefox is irrelevant. Imagine if hackers only focused on one Chromium engine and tried to hack it, and did. Then all Chromium browsers would be exposed. Oh wait, that does happen and Firefox stands alone! Plus, do you really want one company to control all web browsers like the old days when Netscape was the only/best option?

Using Firefox here. Did the transition from Chrome back to Firefox a little over a year ago, and although it was kind'a "work" to have everything how I wanted (I have tons of customizations and add-ons), it was really worth it.

It wasn't needed in the article, but now I can reply to your statement: Brave definitely gets my vote these days as well. The BAT cryptocurrency is also something to look forward to (I purchased a small amount in December 2020, now it's 5 times more valuable).

Speaking of non-Chromium browsers of old, ever tried K-Ninja?
I agree with you regarding monopoly. It was very sad to see Opera drop its rendering engine and turning the browser into a mere shade of its former self... now it's happening again (Maxthon 5 to Maxthon 6, for example, a transition that I have been avoiding for a while).

Would you be so kind to share some customization/extension tips with the rest of us here? Thank you in advance!

Chrome definitely started the decline in Firefox's user share, but they did significant damage to themselves with the switch to Quantum and continue to do so by repeatedly changing things for the worse. It's been years now since they killed much of their extension API by switching from XUL to WE, and they still haven't (and never will) added most of the functionality back, so you just can't do a lot of what used to be possible. Firefox was great, and drew a lot of users, because of its customizability and utility. But they got scared because they were losing users to Chrome and made the idiotic decision to try and stop the bleeding by becoming more like Chrome, which was never the issue.

Most people didn't switch to Chrome because they liked it better, but because it was the default browser on a lot of devices, and most people just use the default (and some for Chrome's faster speed, but I never found the difference to be much, certainly not worth using an otherwise inferior browser for). Firefox users are, by definition, going to be the type to specifically choose their browser instead of just using the default, and so they're going to be users that don't want to use Chrome. All Mozilla did by dumbing down Firefox and Chromifying it was drive a lot of their users away, further reducing their market share.
