Firefox was in a pretty bad spot when I switched about 10 years ago. I would not have recommended to anyone who didn't have an excessive amount of RAM.

I only switched from firefox to chrome, many years ago, for two reasons:

1. Better dev tools 2. Better WebGL performance

But today, Firefox has upped their game on both, and really, I don't play much with WebGL anymore so it doesn't matter that much to me.

I am kinda sick of this whole back-and-forth thing, though. I'm also getting tired of seeing the way the web is going; monetized and walled off. More and more, I'm starting to look into and toward distributed solutions.

Give me back the internet I remember from the early 90s. If I can't have that, then I might just return to BBS-ing over ssh...

Actually, the internet has become too commercialized. But the problem is the top 1% driving all the revenue. And they are using this revenue to shape the web which is profitable to them.

The “back and forth thing” is the market force keeping the browsers from stagnating. Even though it’s a hassle, you really don’t want the world where it doesn’t happen.
