      Same here. I left for about 10 years but started coming back gradually a few years ago. After everything that happened this year, I made the full switch to Mozilla on all my devices. I’m very happy to be back though!

      Why is it such a big deal? I don’t regret anything. Back in the days when Google was a cool company and Chrome appeared, it totally made sense to use Chrome. After they gradually started to get more and more hostile, I switched to Firefox. It was just a matter of exporting and importing bookmarks and setting up some plugins. And changing the search engine.

        I tried chrome when it released. It was a neat curiosity, but I never found it to perform so much better than Firefox that I needed to switch.

      i feel like firefox used to suck

      or did chrome used to not suck so much?

      or was i a sucker for bandwagon and marketing
