I mean your whole argument falls apart when you take into account the fact that cars cost money and the president or PM's car is going to cost a lot more than your average car.

Well look what's happening to Firefox's extensions soon.

Using Chrome would cost me a lot. Both because it is sub-par for my usage patterns and because it feels bad to support it.

Last I checked whey will still be miles ahead of every other browser.
"Firefox was back at this year’s Pwn2Own after missing last year, seemingly because the browser would’ve been too easy to hack" probably sums it up nicely.
Pwn2own is the equivalent of lining up cars and inviting people to bring their preferred weapon to test the armour.
As I have pointed out elsewhere either I am unusually lucky or drive-by exploits are way less common in the wild than people think. Or maybe it is just because I don't go hunting for Photoshop cracks and free movies with my work browser.
In any case: Yes, the safer the better, but we need to stop this "nothing but the most secure" mindset because in the end it only results in a Chrome monoculture which I think is worse in every way, even securitywise.
Still, they're moving. And why do you think they're moving?

I agree with you, but I was responding to your comment about a sniper rifle. I'd argue that pwn2own is the equivalent of using a sniper rifle - and Chrome seems to have dealt with it well.

Like I said, I'd been using Firefox for years because I honestly think it's a better browser. That doesn't excuse how far behind they are security wise though. They seem to have the resources with the companies they've been acquiring but IMO they (the resources) are misplaced.
I much prefer open source, and on my home Arch Machine I use Chromium but at work I'm required to use Windows so I use Chrome because otherwise it's awkward.
Once Mozilla gets sandboxing implemented I will be moving back to Firefox.
