Chrome is the culprit. For as much as they helped with V8 innovations, they&#x27;ve also done harm<p>- ignores usability basics: horrible UI with &gt; 10 tabs, reloads all tabs, many other issues - all of these are things people have complained about forever, they refuse to fix<p>- memory hog: Chrome uses more memory than almost any other browser<p>- Google forces Chrome upon you since Hangouts etc will not work with other browsers<p>- for reasons passing understanding, the Chrome UI has been copied by every browser<p>Firefox is better at every single thing and has a far better extension model, which sadly they will deprecate again to copy Chrome. I find it very sad that its popularity and market share has fallen as the world has collectively dumbed down the browser UI.
