The reason to stop using Firefox on my Mac was battery life, Safari handles this so much better that it was impossible to ignore. On Windows 8 whenever I use I tend to use Internet Explorer as it's better optimised for HDPI screens. But I still love Firefox and I'm ready to return to the nest again as soon as the battery life issue is fixed.
- api 12y agoHonestly I think the OP's title should really be "use something other than Chrome." The fear here is that Chrome (and Google) are approaching critical mass that would allow platform lock in. I personally think that Gmail is the greater threat. In looking at users signed up on a service of mine, I see almost all GMail. It's breathtaking. Pretty soon Google will have the ability to basically embrace-extend-extinguish the Internet's most useful service. I too use Safari on Mac. Better integration with the OS. Chrome is slightly faster but meh.
- eropple 12y agoI use Google Apps for Business because I no longer have to think about the bullshit around mail and spam, and that's not going to change until the alternatives are worth the time they require me to invest. I get the argument regarding Gmail, but if you want somebody to not use Gmail, you're gonna have to be better than Gmail. Nobody is. (Outlook.com is okay, but their web client is garbage and email is one of fairly few things I want as a web app.)
- api 12y agoI don't disagree. GMail conquered the world by investing a lot in overcoming the spam problem.
