> Chromium scrolls 5% better on my machine so who cares about Firefox
For the longest time this was actually the other way around. Firefox decoupled rendering from scrolling, which made it a far better option in many cases (there are some disadvantages, but FF just was further from the technical side).
Chrome cannot render nice pictures. It neglects quality for speed. I think it still does. Isn't visible in every image and you can disable this with tuned CSS tricks, but the issue remains.
But of course you are correct that all this is completely secondary...
Any serious developer that doesn't at least appreciate freedom and open source is an idiot in my opinion. Please excuse my strong language.
