How Firefox Got Fast Again
I switched back to Firefox 54 from Chrome when multiprocess browsing (&quot;Electrolysis&quot;) came out of beta. It&#x27;s been absolutely great. It&#x27;s fast and I trust and like the nonprofit behind it. And all the extensions I care about are available.<p>My main issue with Chrome was the endless nags to sign in to a Google account, and just generally wanting less dependence on Google. I also like that Firefox has a built in tracking protection (not just Do Not Track toggle but actual blocking of trackers). That&#x27;s something that&#x27;s just not in Google&#x27;s interest to put in Chrome.<p>Browsers are becoming more and more aggressive in protecting the interests of users. Becoming true &quot;User Agents,&quot; in other words. See also Safari iOS allowing content blockers and now in iOS 11 blocking some popular tracking behaviors by default. It&#x27;s absolutely great. And it&#x27;s not surprising to me that Chrome is not a leader here. It&#x27;s owned by the biggest advertising company on the internet. I predict Chrome will continue to lag on pro-privacy, anti-nag features.
