> When you do that you have nothing but a Chrome clone left and why use a Chrome clone when you can use Chrome. Why use Chrome when you can use a Chrome clone that better respects your privacy, is open source, and gives you more freedom to configure it? Because it's more secure or faster? It won't be for long: that's exactly what Mozilla is working on. At the expense, yes, of some configurability.

Security is debatable. Sand boxing was just introduced. Customizable maybe, but between the australis, xul deprecation, and the limited theming API I don't think Mozilla really cares. Also for a open source browser. Are you aware the is chromium? Or hell any number of electron based web browsers (which is also chromium). Edit and loss of configurability is not the issue. Loss of Functionality is.
