Firefox surely feels pretty fast at loading and rendering content now, but it still lacks in start-up time. From clicking on the icon in my taskbar to a window showing up, Chrome still beats Firefox on Win10, and I close and open windows enough times in a day that this matters to me.
As to the point of the article, I think it is a lost cause to convince users to try a different browser merely because it is backed by a company motivated by better morals. The Chrome team doesn't appear evil enough for it to matter, and it still puts in excellent work. They make some heavily contested decisions every now and then, but so far it has not affected my experience on the websites that I use daily.
I like trying out Firefox every now and then, and on every fresh OS install, I will install Firefox along with Chrome. However I always go back to Chrome because of some silly detail. Today, it's because of its start-up time.
