I dont understand when people think Firefox didn't have their shit together. Been using it since 2006 and never had an issue. Ya'll must be doing some serious browsing.

    Been using since release. I never felt like I was making some kind of compromise by using it. Firefox always had their shit together from my experience.

    Now, it's on par with Chrome or better than (tradeoffs and personal preference), even for developing web apps. Firefox dev tools pull ahead of Chrome's, then Chrome catches up and does something new and useful, then Firefox catches up, and so forth.

    Firefox is good. It's not like "I'm leaving Photoshop for the GIMP" kind of thing-- It's like "I'm leaving Honda for Toyota."

    When chrome was released, Firefox felt bloated visually and slow. I switched to chrome with the initial release, then tried to come back to Firefox some years later. Still felt like it was slow.

    Im back trying it again. The desktop browser seems to work alright, but I'm growing weary of the Android app.

    i remember it looking pretty sketchy and bad back in the day while chrome looked a lot nicer and user friendly

    im a firefox user now i think chrome looks ugly compared to firefox nowadays
