#3What is most strange is that on linux, mint to be specific, on a recent install they advised to install 'chrome', even if you didn't plan to use it, the logic went "It's better to have a back-up browser"
I say never have a GOOGLE PRODUCT of any kind near you, or on any electronic device in your control.
What gives to tell people to put Chrome on their OS, note also that mint comes pre-installed video tools that are clearly paid promotional pre-bundle, not unlike what you find when you purchase an Acer, a ton of un-wanted malware almost impossible to remove completely from your system.
Never use a google product ( software ) including a known google website ( google.com ) don't support the NSA/CIA and their plan of global domination and world slavery.

#4I wish Mozilla would refocus efforts on making Firefox best in class again. It's been at least 5 years since Firefox was truly relevant.
Interest started to wane when Chrome's JavaScript execution blew it out of the water on release but continues to erode mindshare as the development tools languish.

#5Unfortunately Chrome/ium has the best security story at the moment. Mainly due to good separation/sandbox. Firefox is only now catching up, slowly. So while I'd like to use FF, it's simply not a reasonable choice for me.

This shows that the story behind is still even more relevant today. Looking at what rubber-stamping is happening with "web standards" ....

#7The only reason chromium is my primary browser is the developer tools (it's a pain to use Firefox for normal browsing, but Chromium for debugging.)
I can only hope for chrome's devtools to be ported to firefox. (firebug is close but slow).

For every person who says Chromium's developer tools are better than Firefox's, you can find another person who will say exactly the reverse. It's possible one of the two positions is correct and the other is not, but I find it more likely that people are just used to particular developer tools and that there is no significant difference between the two. People get work done with Firefox and Chromium's developer tools equally, you just have to learn to use them.

My interest waned when Mozilla fired Brenand Eich over a political donation.

#10Keeping choices open for the future is one good reason to use Firefox. My main reason to use Firefox on all my devices is because it is much better than Chrome. It has more predictable behavior, it does not require to be connected to a major cloud, I can tweak it to my liking and I do, I can backup the configuration, and I can do advanced but necessary things such as "text reflow" on my phone.
I have switched back to Firefox one year ago, and never looked back.
