I think teaching people that Google is dangerous and everyone using Chrome makes it worse is important, and probably a good strategy for Firefox.

You can reasonably feel like Chrome is better than Firefox but I don't think it's so much better that it is worth the trade-off.

It feels weird using Google now and knowing that I'm just training their AI. Frankly, I don't particularly want that to move any faster than it already is. One less user won't make that much difference, no, but I do think that supporting Firefox makes a great antithesis to Google's forces.

Actually unless it's about playing videos, audio or debuging my angular app Firefox feels snappier and better to use (and I am back on Firefox for the first time after Pocket happened). But then again those three aspects of using a browser are very big ones.

But the reason I came to Firefox was because I didn't want Chrome to be a clear monopoly and see a time when it was pretty much too late for any competition.
