That frustration when every browser handles scrollbars differently -_- >.<

    Chrome isn't perfect, but it's downright hard to use Firefox anymore imo. E10s still hasn't arrived so we're still living with the lag and security issues of single process. The once great add-on community that helped Firefox rise also helped harm it's ability to move toward the future and now, as one last blow, they're adopting nearly the same add-on system developed for Chrome. See WebExtensions.

    I don't think I'm alone in saying Firefox has fallen far:

    Right now, Firefox has less security safe guards than even Edge, a fractured community, and performance that sucks in practice. And one hell of an ugly looking UI.

    At this point the list of things Firefox still does better is incredibly small. I'd say Chrome does *a lot* right.

    Hmmm... I've never felt like Chrome was too bad... Interesting.

    Servo is cool, but in practice I don't think even Mozilla thinks it will "tan [Chrome's] ass" with Servo. Its still quite experimental and nobody is sure if parallelizing everything (the DOM, CSS) will even pan out well. Also, Chrome historically has been able to move much faster than Firefox, so I expect the same for any DOM redisgns.

    The WebExtension API is also cool, but it's more catching up with Chrome than anything. It's no mistake that WebExtensions is nearly a mirror of the Chrome API.

    As far as licensing and privacy goes, yeah, I prefer Mozilla for privacy. Are there actually licensing issues with Chromium? I ask because actually I use Chromium and not Chrome and wasn't aware of a licensing problem. Google is usually pretty good about that stuff.

    I still like Firefox, but Mozilla has *a lot* of work to do. I have tried hard to like Firefox, including switching back for an entire month, but I think Chrome has done a fantastic job so far (esp. being much newer.)
