It's tied with IE at 10% share. It's over. You're a degenerate if you're using something other than Chrome.

i've literally seen malicious chrome extensions installed in "enterprise mode" meaning they were unremovable without editing the registry (this was in my time as a help desk drone for my uni). Ever since I saw that, I've stayed away from anything chrome except for canary, mainly to use as a secondary browser in rare circumstances.

Reason is, that it may get cluttered up over time. You've probably been using it for a few years already. Installed/removed loads of add-ons and plugins. Who knows what remained. Starting a new profile is like a new OS install. It's a lot smoother and faster.

Chrome on Linux
>>
I've been using Firefox for over a decade.
It has stagnated over time with too much resources being spent on useless things (see the bounty for removing all references to "master" and "slave" in the Firefox source code).

Firefox made its mark by being the fastest, most standards-compliant, and most customizable browser out there, but that was back when Internet Explorer was the only competition.
They need to shift the focus back to their core and leave the rest of this bullshit behind.

>Firefox made its mark by being the fastest, most standards-compliant, and most customizable browser out there
It was Opera though. Today the Chrome is a slow shit as any other browser, so it's more like a memewar.
>>
Reminder that FF will soon require PulseAudio on Linux. That feel when lennartware is slowly but surely invading everywhere

I still can't believe they run the UI and webpage rendering on the same fucking thread still to this day. Just cannot believe that. It's like visual application design 101 to keep those separate so any minor hiccup processing something doesn't lag the whole thing up.

>>58173275
All the forks seem kind of useless to me because the only thing they are doing is to relabel Firefox a bit and maybe use other add-ons which sometimes makes them incompatible with the newer Firefox add-ons.
It's a bit like with all the Chrome/Chromium forks with the difference that there actually is an incentive to remove as much google as possible from Chromium.
