It may not be sufficient to just switch to FF. I think it likely that what FF needs is people putting in the grunt work of continuing to optimize the hell out of it so that it's performance-competitive with Chrome.
Users will choose the fastest browser that works, in general.
- nathancahill 9y agoHave you tried it recently? Mozilla has done exactly that. The latest version is faster than Chrome in some benchmarks.
- fixermark 9y agoI'm more interested in the elusive-but-oh-so-important "Feels faster" metric, which is harder to capture in benchmarks. To my taste, Chrome juuuust edges out at a cursory glance, but barely (though at this point, it's a little sticky for me because it has my Google account credentials, my bookmarks backed up to the cloud, etc., etc.). But it's definitely looking better than it did when last I tried that comparison.
