No extensions yet, but it can fight spam, tracking, and YouTube's algorithm.

I'm surprised they are just now releasing a browser for PC. They had one for IOS and Android for years, with the only thing available for desktop users was a browser extension.
Same; especially with how everyone and their dog is releasing a Chrom{e,ium} reskin.
When are the Firefox forks gonna get popular? We need browser diversity as a fear of mine is that google will make chromium closed source and poof! More than half of the completing browsers are gone!
They're unlikely to do that as keeping Chromium source available helps them to ward off antitrust legislation. They can hold it up and say "See, look at all these competitors!" when in reality they're all just Googles agenda in different skins. Meanwhile they get to continue dictating the web standards to cater to their profit motives by maintaining dominance over the rendering engine space.
If you care about a free and open web, Firefox is the only morally correct choice. Anything else is just capitulating to Googles dominance over the ecosystem.
I've been happy to see a few webkit browsers on Mac recently (like SigmaOS). Hoping others follow suit since that team seems to be doing good work again
