Can someone remind me why we stopped using Firefox a while back? There was some piece of news that broke everyone’s trust, but I can’t remember what Mozilla did. Was it a change in their user agreement?

    A good while back, Chrom(ium) was just flat-out faster

    Performance was huge.

    I was willing to put up with a little jank from my browser because I wanted a diverse browser ecosystem, but Chrome felt much, much now performant. After I switched to Chrome, browsing felt noticably better.

      A good while back, Chrome was superior. Faster yes, but also more polished and intuitive as browsers go.

      Also, Google was “Do no Evil”, and Firefox was good, but not great.

      Today, Firefox is still good, and Google is evil.

        Times definitely have changed.

        Also, Google was “Do no Evil”

        At the time Google seemed awesome. Gmail was a game changer - a usable webapp that was better than maybe clients.

        Firefox was good, but not great.

        Firefox was the best of a bad bunch. It was so easy for devs to move to Chrome because the experience on every other browser was bad.
