All I know is that if I could get a menu bar and tree style tabs in Chrome, I'd have switched 5 years ago.
Right, so the only reason why you use Firefox is that you're being held hostage by add-ons. Isn't that terrible? We'd rather make a browser you actually WANT to use and if that requires pouring gasoline over the add-on ecosystem and setting the thing on fire, I'll be first in line to bring the matches.
There's no hostage situation. I'm not chafing against Firefox; I'd like it to be more responsive and less janky - it's a lot more janky than Chrome, there's a lot more variance in pauses for whatever reason. That's my primary problem with it. I'm not yearning to be free, given what Chrome is.
Chrome is almost unusable in its current form. It's like a toy; it becomes completely unwieldy after opening a few dozen tabs. It doesn't scale to my browsing usage. I only use it for development. I also don't like its text selection algorithm, being a selection reader.
If Firefox approaches Chrome's toy-like non-scaling nature, and retains all its other disadvantages, then I'll look and see what other options I have.
Maybe. We'll see. All I know is that if I could get a menu bar and tree style tabs in Chrome, I'd have switched 5 years ago.
