Why Bother with uBlock Being Blocked in Chrome? Time to Switch to Firefox

I moved to Chrome on first release not because of blind, trend-following foolishness, but because it performed significantly better than Firefox. It also didn't have the bug of occasionally losing things I told it to grab into the clipboard.

Poor performance is also what drove me back to Firefox. It still has the clipboard bug, however.

This is fine. My comment is not aimed at everyone who switched -- though I am likely still referring to the majority of people.

I do remember the ACID test being the main selling point of Chrome over the other browers. Yes, from memory, I do believe Chrome was faster. My attitude to this, however, was that it was new and eventually, would be adding new features, etc.

I understand that there are people out there who switched for other reasons.
