after many years I'm jumping ship on firefox.
is there any reason why I shouldn't use Iridium?

Because qutebrowser exists
Yes. It's a malware piece of shit.
Firefox or chrome. Firefox new versions are actually good so I don't know why you jumping ship right now.

well for one it's noticeably slower than Iridium, which might have soemthing to do with using five times as much RAM.

Why use iridium when you have chromium ? For one iridium is not open source. Why use it ? Tell me one thing iridium does better then chromium.

Iridium doesn't update very often
Linux: use icecat, pale moon or chromium-stable
windows: brave or palemoon

Uou would just use Waterfox which disables all the Firefox stuff and still uses the add-ons. But if you want to move straight away from it i would recommend Vivaldi.

Chromium still phones home to Google, and still has "harmful" or rather privacy compromising components enabled. Iridium is really not too different than Chromium so I'm not going to make ti a dick measuring contest, but I just prefer Iridium.
All chromiums are a botnet. Iridium is a placebo.
If you are moving to chromium because you want better usability and performance, just install vivaldi.
If you want a freedom browser, I'm sorry to say but they are generally very autistic, lack the best add-on support, and have limited capabilities. Just install ice cat and examine all the fucking autism in librejs.
