> Chrome actually managed to compete on the merits
Uh. Anyone else here remember the constant bombardment of Chrome ads across google's multiple(!) monopolized services? Non-tech-nerd people I know with non-default browsers were either pushed onto it by a tech nerd friend (this was responsible for most of Firefox's early success) or were convinced by an ad to download and install it, possibly not even understanding what it was, just "a thing Google keeps telling me I need".

- baisq 4y agoI switched to Chrome because Firefox was (and still is) slower than Chrome. Simple as. I am not disputing the effects of ads of course.
- jacooper 4y agoI was a very avid Firefox user, but after the new design, hot garbage Android broswer, and the apperant security advantages(1) and speed(2) of Chromium also brave building an actual ecosystem alternative focused on privacy(mainstream browser, independent search, de-amp / ad block by default and more) I moved to it, and its been a pretty good experience. 1. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht... 2. On speedometer2 on my PC, brave gets 212, Firefox gets 155.
