When Firefox goes Chromium-based, swarms of locusts will erupt from the ground, the moon will turn red as mars, and apparitions of RMS will be seen wandering the streets, telling people "I told you so."

I think gp didn't mean wait for Firefox to use Chromium rather: why not use Firefox already?

Come for the better browser, get spyware free as a bonus ;-)

Unless I misinterpret you, that really needs a hyphen.

That is a really good point :-)

Yes, there should have been a hyphen there.

The best thing about firefox is the containers - so I can easily have different cookie spaces for different tasks, I only use my Gmail container for Gmail, so my general web browsing isn't attached to my Gmail profile.
