Funny thing is Firefox Quantum is both faster and eats less memory compared with Chrome.
>not one that treats you as a pawn.
And sadly, Firefox is the only browser that doesn't treat you like a pawn. For MS, Google, Apple, that chinese company which owns Opera you are just a pawn.
(later edit : fixed the second remark).
Not any more, I recently discovered that my firefox at work got infected with Firefox Pioneer. I didn't install that, it just appeared on list of my addons, no warning or anything. I heard on Reddit about similar cases from a few months ago, people got Safe Browsing installed without their knowledge. Both are signed addons from Mozilla.

Is youre IT group policy doing this?
your
So it sounds like a bug or another case of non-malice. Tried reporting it at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/?
With quantum, Firefox is performing well. Even if chrome catches up I will not give up Firefox until it becomes so slow that I'm unable to use it normally. I don't care about the performance delta, just that it be good enough.
Go Firefox!

Do you mean to say Firefox treats you as a pawn? How so?(Genuinely interested)
What about Safari? (May not be an option based on OS though)
I'm running nightly which in theory ought to have more chance at issues but more chances of fixes for said issues faster too.
