      They might simply prefer it, or be in an environment where they have no choice (e.g. office, education).

      I’m a stubborn Firefox user but I have to say, this feels a little aggressive and not at all likely to convince anyone to switch.

        So you’re saying they’d be allowed to sideload a discontinued chrome extension onto their work laptop but not allowed to download another legitimate browser? Yea…not buying it. Same with an educational setting. Pretty sure the person I reaponded to just simply is used to Chrome and doesn’t want change (which I do understand.)

      I stripped it from all google crap, extra features, etc. Then the features I want I added in using an extension I wrote and maintain myself

          I prefer to have a “cryptobro” chromium browser that not only supports five html and js features but is actually leading in html 5 support and not lacking 2 years behind

          Yes I know that but firefox is lacking features. An old chromium browser on mobile has the same amount of points in benchmarks as the newest firefox on desktop
