Why shouldn't it keep you away from Chrome ? It's faster, uses less memory, and the "maker", Mozilla is more trustworthy compared with Google. What's missing ?
>It's faster Faster than old fox? Yes. Faster than Chrome? Nope. Still long way to go.

I have been thinking of switching back from Chrome to Firefox. I haven't been able to find decent profile support though (so I can keep work and private data separate), and all profiles addons are broken at the moment.
The Firefox Multi-Account containers are great: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... Multiple profiles within a single window, visually distinguished by tab highlight color.
I have been using 57 in beta, and I have to say, I'm impressed. It is a huge improvement. Whether it keeps me off Chrome in the future remains to be seen though!

FireFox 52 - BYOND game written by myself - 60FPS. FireFox 57 - 10FPS.
Not even.

Also note their updated Firefox on iOS. It looks and works just fine now and comes with Firefox Sync which gives you access to your tabs, bookmarks and history.

Few things that I do prefer in Firefox:
- bookmarks with tags
- nightly/testmode snooze tabs. Wonderful idea
- reader view (not sure if chrome has that out of the box nowadays)
I don't use containers even though they seem lovely
Firefox has taken a massive nosedive in the last few years, in the UK at least. My two big clients have them on less than 2% share.
Just checked one, 5 years ago they had 9.55% share, today it's 1.8%. Even taking into account the growth of mobile, that's dire.

I switched from Chrome to Firefox 57 beta and couldn't be happier. Only issue so far was the ugly black title bar on the Mac, but switching to the integrated 'Light' theme fixed that. Too bad 'Light' isn't the default on macOS. Also note their updated Firefox on iOS.
