(#13520271)
I switched to Firefox a year or two ago.
It hasn't been smooth. Chrome is faster and has better dev tools. Ads have caused significant lock ups, to the point where I was forced to install uBlock against my wishes.
Nevertheless I've persisted.
But the thing that continually pushes me towards switching back to Chrome is this bug[1]. It affects every single Mac user I've met, is trivially easy to confirm and yet sits there.
On the positive side, the Firefox syncing works well across machines, so that is nice.
