Why I'm switching back to Firefox
The post is spot on. Firefox is a great browser, but reading the OP's last paragraphs, users rarely choose software for quality alone.The most popular alternatives to Firefox are Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Internet Explorer. I doubt these alternative browsers would exist if they were not useful for Google's and Microsofts main businesses. These companies produce web browsers to support their main products/services. The rationale behind AOL Explorer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_Browser) was similar. In settings like those privacy and other interests of web users are easily sacrificed.Out of all the big browsers, Mozilla Firefox comes closest to being a web browser for the sake of web browsing.
