Choose Firefox Now, Or Later You Won't Get A Choice (2014)
Daily Firefox user here. Switched back from Chrome a couple years ago and haven&#x27;t looked back.<p>Just seeing the comments here exasperates me...<p>So for those who don&#x27;t know, the Internet is heavily biased towards Chrome. Simple pages that should render no differently in FF than Chrome are often broken. This &quot;Chrome is great, screw everything else&quot; attitude is exactly how we ended up with IE and stagnation in standards&#x2F;development in the late 90s&#x2F;early 2000s. The biggest feature of IE was faster rendering and better performance versus Netscape.<p>It&#x27;s seriously an issue that developers&#x2F;engineers are only targeting Chrome and I think a large part of that is also due to V8 powering Node.js. I&#x27;m not trying to bash Node here... Developers are so hooked in its (chrome) ecosystem they don&#x27;t even realize the bias. I&#x27;m beyond excited to see things like Chakra being able to replace V8 in node because I think it will be a huge boon to making a more free and open web.<p>Anymore I&#x27;ve started to protest by refusing to use sites that are flagrantly broken in FF. I block em in &#x2F;etc&#x2F;host and call it a day. What happened to standards? Why can&#x27;t I use a browser you don&#x27;t like?<p>Also FF for those that haven&#x27;t used it in a while:<p>•) it uses less ram than chrome especially with a lot of tabs open<p>•) is quite performant and getting better<p>•) has vastly improved its Dev tools... the folks responsible for them are very receptive to ideas and happy to hear them.<p>•) multi-process Firefox is MUCH more responsive than its single process alternative but must be enabled currently (I think). Also make sure your extensions are compatible with it.<p>•) personally, I think, the developer edition Firefox I think is much more attractive than Chrome<p>I really hope the web doesn&#x27;t just work in one browser and that things start to improve. Reading comments here gives me little assurance that will happen :(<p>Edit 1: formatting and note about folks making the FF Dev tools.<p>Edit 2: clarity in final paragraph and added sad face.
