I made the switch. I want to say its glorious, but there are definitely some pain points. Not with Firefox itself, mind you (it's seriously amazing), but with 3rd party apps. Things that I use every day _suck_ on Firefox. Top of the list right now is Lastpass, which while completely seemless on Chrome, doesn't even have the ability to copy a username or password on Firefox (what??) (anyone have a two-factor auth alternative?).

Still, they really nailed it with quantum. The dev tools are excellent (finally!). I can deal with the second rate extensions if it means compartmentalizing just a small slice of my life from Google.

considering? just do it. The moment Google did this, I swore off chrome. I open chrome to have meetings with in hangouts, that's it. My 300+ open browsing tabs are in Firefox. I also switched a lot of Google products, such as making duckduckgo default search on all my devices. I encourage every none tech person I know to switch to Firefox if they use chrome.

You ought to do so

I'm a web dev, used Chrome heavily for years. Switched to Firefox 6 months ago. It was ok, but now with 57 it's great. There's hardly anything that doesn't work. Only use Chrome for Hangouts and Google Cast now.
