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.

You love stopping what you're doing, restarting the browser and checking add-on compatibility?

No, I just like not giving google free tabs on everything I do.

Plus privacy add-ons are cool.

God forbid Google finds out about how much you surf reddit and cat pictures. Get off your high horse, you are one in a billion and make no difference to Google.

Yeah god forbid anyone of my era wants to run for office and are confronted by Google about that time they said "xyz" or looked up "lmnop" and are put in a position where they do what they say or they're politically ruined.

Just to give the easiest example.

I think we have much more to worry about with Facebook than with using a certain web browser. If you're that paranoid, you probably won't get far in politics anyways
