Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox
Manifesting a future where Firefox is more successful?
The trick is, I never switched to chrome.
I went from IE to firefox back in 2009 or so and never had a reason to switch. Firefox is a nice browser.

I got so tired of the "update chrome because new zero day" articles so I removed chrome altogether from every computer I own except the work one because one specific vendor's schematics work in chrome and are broken in the other browsers. I haven't looked back and I don't think I will.

Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.
23 1 ReplyI agree. I'm using it right now!
But they have certainly been outlining some poor decisions in the last few weeks.
