Seeing some comments about Firefox vs Chrome on macOS below, here's my experience ... After several years of using Chrome I've switched to Firefox and I'm not going back. I do occasionally use Chrome, like for Node.js profiling. In terms of performance, Firefox has been behaving better than Chrome for my usage patterns, using less memory too. Usage patterns matter a lot though. For example Google's own apps (e.g. G Suite) tend to be optimized for Chrome, but I'm not using Google's apps that much. Stability has been improving, e10s is finally here, we've got multi-processing and it's working. It's not so keen on starting one process per tab as Chrome, but I like that, as memory usage tends to be better. I've liked the "sandboxing" of Chrome's extensions, having a permissions system that's better than nothing, however I trust Firefox's Add-ons more because Mozilla has a trustworthy review system in place. At the end of the day, when you give permissions to an Add-on for accessing your data across all websites you visit, you can always get screwed with a simple and silent update from that developer and there have been countless of extensions on Chrome's store turned to spyware over night. Either way, Firefox now has a permissions system in place, they've been introducing it gradually. In terms of features, I love how natural the Awesome Bar is when trying to go back to a page from history. This is in comparison with Chrome that makes you do more searches on Google. It also has had some great extensions for tab management, some of which are now broken due to the transition, but I'm pretty sure they'll become available again, because hackability is in Firefox's DNA. Consider that Firefox on Android has supported plugins (and ad blockers) from day 1, whereas Chrome still doesn't. But overall, even if Firefox would be the worst one on the market, I would probably keep using it because it's the only browser whose makers have been looking after my interests as a user, for example being the only major browser that tried opposing DRM or patent encumbered video encoding.
