The Firefox bug report for a websocket message inspector was opened 7 years ago. It took 6 years before it got implemented.

Its no wonder they lost marketshare among developers.

I can find similar examples in Chrome, yet that doesn't detain some devs to worship it.

Yes, but Chrome is considered the default. If something doesn't work in Chrome, I will get in trouble with my boss for implementing it.

If something doesn't work with Firefox, we tell the users to use Chrome.

So just like IE 6, some things never change in spite people telling otherwise.

Agree with this sentiment 100% - it’s not better, it’s just less evil.
