I've seen this one before.

  • A ton of people will complain
  • Firefox will get a bunch of users for a few days
  • 90% will go back to Chrome

That last 10% will be happier but that's just the way it goes. This is based on Netflix, Reddit, Twitter, and Microsoft.

A browser is not like a social network though. There's barely any difference in practical terms between Chrome and Firefox. Once you've switched there's no reason to go back.

You may think so but there's always a bunch of posts about why people can't switch out of chromium in every other Firefox related posts. There are few significant differences and some don't wanna make any compromise for something better.

I heard from someone who uses a shit ton of tabs in Chrome which Firefox doesn't do as well apparently. But I've been a FF guy for as long as it's been around and i hate open trans so

I miss the old Tab Mix Plus. I customized that crap out of that thing and it was lovely.
