The best time to switch to Firefox was many years ago. The second best time is now.

I switched when it was Phoenix.

I stopped liking it some time around v2. Maybe late 1.x series, don’t remember.

I left over a decade ago.

Well, probably they haven't changed it at all in the last 10 years, right?

Had to download it again just yesterday because I needed a certain plugin for piracy reasons. Couldn’t browse at all until I disabled ipv6 via flag in about:config. Other browsers on same system need no such fiddling.

Still bloated with a bad UI and offering little I can’t get in almost any other browser, all of which qualities are sharply contrary to the ones that made me start using it in the first place. They’ve changed none of what made me stop liking it.

What browser do you use instead?

This is such a bad saying. I guess all the people who switched this year should have waited until now, because now is a better time to switch?

It's not a bad saying, proverbs don't have to be mathematically rigorous to be resonant and get a point across.

The point of the saying is that it's a rolling "now".
