So much this. It just seems like everyone repeats the "Chrome is better and Firefox is slow" mantra without spending a couple of days trying Firefox.

It's a browser owned by an advertising company. An advertising company that knows a lot about you, and constantly strives to learn more by whatever nefarious means they can think of. I can't see how anyone is okay with that.

Because it's faster.*

The day I can open Firefox and it feels as snappy as Chrome I'll switch back to Firefox.

No it is not. Whenever I use Chromium to see if some page renders well, I am surprised how slower it is. That said, it probably depends on the type of pages you are visiting, but startup time in FF is much lower in my experience.

I don't feel like the bottleneck nowadays is the browser. It's several mb of advertising flotsam that Google is actively endorsing.
