What a weird reply. I think I'd especially notice any glaring problems, seeing as I use it every day for web dev. The only issues I've had is that devtools will sometimes completely crash, giving me a white window, requiring me to close the tab to restart devtools. But that's been rare and I can't remember the last time it happened. I completely de-Google'd my life 2 years ago, and I only have Chrome installed so that I can test things cross-browser when needed (e.g. webgl).
Comparing Firefox to IE5/6 is unfounded.
- fooker 3y ago>I only have Chrome installed so that I can test things cross-browser when needed Read my grandparent comment carefully. Suppose you have two products A, B. They are roughly feature equivalent but B has a 10x more engineering effort put in towards QOL improvements and fixing the long tail of performance issues. You are not going to notice this if you generally use A and only once in a while use B. OTOH, if you use B and suddenly get transported to a A-only world you are going to miss the polish. Another way to think about this is to compare cheap clothes/shoes to well made expensive ones.
- ezekg 3y agoI used Chrome for 8 years prior. I didn't miss a thing after the switch except my autocomplete/history, which I built back up over a few weeks. You sound like you haven't actually used Firefox recently. If you have, then maybe give specifics.
