I may be poorly informed, but why is firefox difficult? I switched a year ago and haven’t really noticed anything different...

It's difficult because the icon looks different and the look-and-feel is minimally different. Nothing of substance but people "dun wanna".

GP wasn't saying Firefox is difficult. GP gave a specific example of how it's easy to install an ad blocker on a system that's already running Chrome for someone else; no need to convince them to change browser, no need to tell them to double-click a different icon.
