One more reason: firefox will work on older Macs.
Case in point: Chrome started to misbehave on my fathers rather old Macbook (missing root certs, refuses to render google drive, etc...)
When I open Google drive, after being a completely cryptic (to a non-tech person) set of error messages, I realized I needed to upgrade Chrome.
I tried to upgrade Chrome and was told I'm on an unsupported version of OSX.
I tried to upgrade OSX and was told, no such thing exists on this older hardware.
Lo and behold, firefox has none of these issues.
Ditch Google as soon as you can, and Apple as well.

- mark_l_watson 4y agoI totally agree, but I wish you had included MSNBC news with CNN and Fox. They all push a pro-war and corporate agenda, just in different flavors.
- windowsrookie 4y agoThat's strange. Chrome says it requires MacOS 10.11, Firefox says it requires MacOS 10.12. Based on that it would appear that Chrome is supporting older versions of MacOS than Firefox. MacOS 10.11 supports every 2008 and newer Apple computer. There are also patches to get newer versions of MacOS on old hardware. I'm using one patch to get 10.13 running on a 2008 MacBook Pro and it runs great. http://dosdude1.com/software.html http://dosdude1.com/software.html
