I switched because FF was painfully slow, and chrome was blazing fast when it came out in comparison. Not only that, but the dev tools (specifically for JS) were far better than anything else out there.
Fast forward 12 years, and little has changed. I dont keep 1000 tabs open, so chrome has never felt slow. I tried installing the developer edition of FF about 6 years ago on macOS and it refused to open.
Why bother changing?
- SSLy 5y agoBecause since FF57 it feels faster than Chrome.
- zdragnar 5y agoAnd yet, chrome doesnt feel slow to me. The difference isn't nearly as stark as it once was between the two. FF lost because they lost the plot. If I were a tab hoarder (I.e. didn't know how to use bookmarks) or thought that Mozilla were any more trustworthy than Google (why is it that the for profit puts out FF but the not-for-profit collects donations that go to anything but?) then I would switch. I'm waiting to see how manifest v3 shakes out- Chromes plan is still better than safari has been (she admittedly low bar) but until thr browsing experience is affected, I have no problem sticking with chrome / chromium.
