Oddly I've just move (back) to Firefox because I'm increasingly concerned by Google's activity and I'm curious whether anyone else is thinking along similar lines.
I like Chrome more than any other browser (I've got a Chrome theme for Firefox so it looks similar...) but I'm simply not willing to put all my eggs in the Google basket and it was one of the Google products that got dropped in the cull (Gmail and Reader surviving, Chrome and search going).
Ideally I'd like Apple to sort out Safari but I'm still not wild about it on Windows and I want to use the same browser on all my machines so Firefox it is (Xmarks and Feedly not supported on Opera).
- ttt_ 15y agoI am also thinking along similar lines. It's just a matter of time before Chrome starts getting all plusie on us. Besides, Google products in general have begun loosing their appeal after Google deviated from being technology-focused to social-focused. Soon enough those products will start lagging behind others in innovation and early adopation of lead-technology and usability features. Hopefully the alternatives will come in a variety of ways and tastes and not united under a single banner/brand.
- hollerith 15y agoI just moved back to Firefox, too, because Firefox fixed the issues that made me move to Chrome. In particular, FF now actually observes the minimum font size I set in Preferences > Content; and the Back button and the History functionality no longer sometimes get very slow.
