Aside from being a long way out of date (the test version of Firefox, my browser of choice and therefore the one I'm interested in), some of the tone of this article seems to be rather unreasonable. Referring to automatic updates, it mentions that this can mean it "still installs something without your consent, with possible new privacy nightmares in there." - which of course is possible, but how many times has that happened versus an automatic update removing a definite security problem in the existing version it's replacing? I moved from Chrome to FF a few years ago, when trying to de-google (semi successfully) my life. I'm sure I could have made a more secure choice overall, but at what cost? Also, how relevant are articles like this if they're not kept up to date? Most people will just see the summary, and say "it's not worth changing to Firefox because it's only slightly ahead of Chrome, and I'll lose feature X, Y and Z". This seems damaging to the overall idea of privacy, to me.
