Now is the time to switch back to Firefox
- gjvc 12y agoThis is merely another article capitalizing on manufactured outrage. Much of the article is centered around the size of tabs in the browser window, and how to cope when you have 80 of them open. The author appears confused at the end when he says "Security is the area where Firefox is weakest", but then hedges himself saying "so using Chrome doesn't guarantee security either". Weak sauce.

- SEJeff 12y agoIt seems like (to me) that Firefox is consistently hacked more at the yearly pwn2own event: http://www.eweek.com/security/pwn2own-2014-claims-ie-chrome-safari-and-more-firefox-zero-days.html http://www.eweek.com/security/pwn2own-2014-claims-ie-chrome-... Chrome got hacked as well, but Firefox had 4 separate hacks in this year's event. It just seems like a recurring pattern that Chrome doesn't get hacked or gets hacked a lot less than firefox. Chrome is an absolute memory hog, but I'll keep it. Mozilla has consistently put me off by putting Linux as a second class citizen (I've used desktop Linux almost exclusively for the past 10 years) and some of their software which I really loved like Thunderbird, is practically abandonware (except security fixes). Once upon a time, I was a very loyal Firefox user. Not so much anymore.
