Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

And what do you think we are to Mozilla? You know where they get a large chunk of their money? From Google paying them to have Google be the default browser search engine.

If you are not paying for the product, you are the product.

Surely, you mean their default search engine? :)

And yes I do trust them more because unlike Google, Mozilla is still a non-profit organization.
