As I said in other another comment, I'm a power user. And by power user I mean probably 10x the normal standard of what a 10x power user means. Tooling is everything to me; which is why I prefer this over anything else. I'm very biased.

You are probably seriously overestimating yourself and/or underestimating a large subset of your audience here.

People here are:

- early developers from majir browsers

- extension creators

- creators of major web properties

- people who spend their work days on the web

- etc

seriously. Don't underestimate HN.

Edit: and as someone who's been very into customizing and extending browsers since early Firefox: your ideas about Firefox vs Chrome tells me that you are either

- deeply biased

- use a subset of browser features that is too small to realize the problems with Chromium (in which case I suspect your 100x superuser is wild hyperbole)

You can come back when Tree Style Tabs including related sub-extensions works as well on Chrome as on Firefox.

What does that even mean? Ten times? Tooling is everything?

When it comes to a browser, I'm curious as well. I often end up with 100+ tabs in firefox before I close them all. I don't think think I'd consider that being a power user, but would a 10x power user simply mean someone with over 1,000 tabs open?

I haven't used Chrome regularly in the last year or so, but it would get noticeably slow by the time I had 3-4 windows with 10-20 tabs each. Firefox hasn't really had that issue yet.

Years ago though, Chrome was noticeably faster than Firefox. That changed (IMO at least) at some point in the last few years.

I use Firefox day to day, but if I was a “power user” and picking apart web traffic everyday I’d probably use Chromium. The dev tools in it are way better than the ones built in Firefox.

In what way are Chrome's dev tools better?

I got used to Firefox's dev tools and can't find my way around in Chrome's.

That's just pure muscle memory. I personally dislike the chrome tools.

This comment made me smile because it gives me the same absurd vibes as "Impossible Is Nothing".

So you're a 100x poweruser. Got it.

That has fresh meme potential. How many 100x power-users do you need to make a 10x developer? And how many normal users for a 100xPU? Are 10 100xPU equal to a 1kPU? So many questions...
