   If you're yelling at people to switch to Firefox, you're way behind the curve; the browser wars are over, and Blink/Webkit have decisively won. Gecko/Quantum is effectively a dead end at this point, even if nobody wants to admit it.

   The meaningful battle lines are now drawn along forks, not engines, and Google is betting we'll use theirs mostly because we're lazy / it's good enough / other browsers have annoying quirks - and they're right about all of these.

     @HunterZ I just use Safari. It does what I need it to do, and it probably isn't selling my data.

     If you want me to stop using Chromium-based browsers, yell at Mozilla to stop making garbage decisions regarding Firefox development. I got off that bus a couple years ago, and it's been refreshing not having to constantly worry about what they're going to break next, or if/when they're even going to fix what they already broke.
