I'm hoping that Firefox is once again seen as a viable alternative, that “power users” would consider switching to if Chrome falls behind.

- magicalhippo 8y agoI ditched Chrome 8 years ago, first for Opera and then Firefox once Opera became Chrome. It still has memory issues[1], but overall I'm very happy with it. [1]: it's probably not plain old memory leaks anymore, but due to using a few long-lived content processes, pages/scripts that leak is an issue. But usually not a huge deal, once one of the processes start using 2-3GB I just kill it, and refresh the affected tabs (coughSlackcough).
- simon_o 8y agoWould love to switch back to Firefox, but the general UX is just too terrible. I also lack the trust that even if they fixed the major issues (or even allowed fixing them yourself) I would be able to rely on things working in the mid-to-long-term. Currently holed up on Vivaldi, where the things you expect out of the box, are in fact working out of the box (vertical tabs, mouse gestures, ...).
