This. Firefox has always been just good. It wasn't great or anything, it was just a good browser. Then chrome came around and it had more, better features. It was a bit more memory usage, but those were for the additional features Firefox didn't have.

Firefox didn't really change a whole lot, it added synching features across accounts, and didn't get worse. It just stayed the same.

The people made Firefox better, because now they're creating add-ons for Firefox, where chrome had more.

I feel like once chrome got the majority of browser users, it immediately started going to shit. I have no proof of this, just a memory of it being better until it was announced that chrome was the most used browser, and the near immediate heavier memory usage.

I don't know what rock you've been living under where you think base Firefox wasn't ever improved

I love Firefox, but I can’t shake the feeling that it is slower on YouTube. My tinfoil hat theory is that Google somehow throttles YouTube on Firefox.

Firefox is good for webpages not web apps

A web app is just a fancy name for a dynamic web page. Change my mind.

Umm yeah? Like I do like access to collaborative software within browser so that's kind of important.
